Services to honor loved ones who have passed on are often very personal occasions, celebrating the life of the individual. In Unitarian Universalist congregations, these services are developed by the family of the deceased and the minister to especially honor the memory of that individual. The service might include the following elements:

• A eulogy
• Poems and other readings
• Prayer or meditation
• A time to remember the deceased with stories and memories
• Hymn singing or other music
• A time for personal reflection

If you would like to discuss the planning of a memorial or celebration of life service, please contact our ministers at minister@uucmp.org, 831-624-7404.
