As soon as
death occurs, the family should notify the Rector.
After setting a time and date for the service,
the Rector will work closely with the family of
the deceased to create a personal and fitting
memorial or funeral, tailored to best remember
the deceased, while still maintaining Episcopal
dignity and order of worship. Services range from
traditional and formal to less conventional and
informal as suits the family's remembrances of
their loved one. In the Episcopal Church, the
coffin is always closed before the service and,
while in the church, is covered with a pall or
a national flag.
