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 God’s eternal peace.

We also affirm our belief that death is never the end to human meaning. At St. Philip’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 God’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
