Memorials & Funerals


Funerals and Memorial Services

The pastoral staff of the church conducts funerals and memorial services for members and friends of the congregation.  Please contact Senior Minister Kelly Brill at pastor@avonlakeucc.org

The church family reaches out in care to those who are experiencing the grief journey. If you would like more information about counseling, Stephen Ministry or grief support groups, please contact Senior Minister Kelly Brill at pastor@avonlakeucc.org or Parish Nurse Cheryl Updegraff at cherylupdegraff@oh.rr.com

Church members and friends are strongly encouraged to plan their funerals/memorial services ahead of time; it is of great help to the family. You may download our Funeral Planning Form here.
