Planning for a funeral is not something most of us look forward to with joy and anticipation. However, we Christians know that death awaits us, not as a tragic ending, but as a passage into a new and indescribably marvelous life with God. As St. Paul says: "What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and what has not entered the human heart, what God has prepared for those who love him" (1 Cor 2:9-10).
We have create several resources to help guide in the planning of a funeral at SJTW. Feel free to download any that you choose. Contact Tarri Nelson at 763-400-7205 or email her at tnelson@sjtw.net if you have any questions or need assistance.
