Funerals at Christ Church
As Christians, we live in the hope and reality that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Jesus Christ – nothing in life; nothing in death. Still, one of the hardest things we face in this life is the death of a loved one.
Our clergy, staff, and community offer their caring support and expertise to individuals and families. This care begins with the planning of the funeral to celebrate the life of your loved one. We believe that all people are gifts from our Creator, and all people are received into the arms of our loving God when they die. Christ Church is honored to support parishioners, neighbors, friends, and anyone in need; membership is not required.
At the Time of Death
Prior to or at the time of death, please contact our priest directly or call the church office at 313-259-6688. Our priest will meet with you to assist with the funeral arrangements and to provide counsel and support.
Funeral Pre-Planning
Pre-planning your funeral service can give you peace of mind and ease the burden placed on your loved ones at the time of your death. The entire service, including scripture readings and hymns, can be planned in advance.
Columbarium
The columbarium is a place of rest for the remains of the faithful departed. It lines the walls of the original baptistry, a small marble-tiled room beside the sanctuary, with an historic stained glass window that fills with sublime light at sunset. Parishioners frequently visit and pray for their loved ones in the columbarium during Sunday services.
