The Burial of the Dead is a liturgy of the Christian Church by which we commend a loved one who has died into the blessed rest of Godโ€™s eternal peace.

We also affirm our belief that death is never the end to human meaning. At St. Philipโ€™s, we offer companionship and prayer to those whose loved ones have died, helping them to plan a funeral or memorial service that will authentically express their gratitude for their loved one now gone, their grief, and their hope in Godโ€™s promise of new life in Christ.


If someone you love is near death, please contact the church office. A member of the clergy will contact you to help you through this difficult time. 919-682-5708
