Funeral Services at The Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville

Funerals or memorial services are conducted by our clergy or pastoral care staff and may be held at the Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville or off-site.

SCHEDULING
Before a date and time can be confirmed, the family must have a conversation with the minister who will be officiating. He or she will set up a time to meet with the family and guide them in the planning of the service, which will typically include a printed bulletin. If the family wishes to have music for the service, the church office will handle securing an organist.

VISITATION PRIOR AND/OR RECEPTION AFTER THE SERVICE
If the family desires to have a time for visitation at the Church prior to the service, that may be arranged by speaking with the minister in charge or the Church Office Manager.

If the family desires to use the Church Fellowship Center or Lounge for a reception following the service, that may be arranged as well. Because there is no food service provided by the church, the family is encouraged to engage a caterer or other help.

FLORISTS
Florists making deliveries should call the church office to ensure access to the building in advance of the service.
