In Times of Bereavement

Chalmers United Church is here to support you and work with you in honouring your loved one and in celebrating the love of God. Please know that our Minister is available to support you during this time of grief.  This outline provides some practical information to assist you.

Chalmers United Church celebrates the lives of members, adherents, or people otherwise connected to this congregation, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, family or economic status. We strive to be sensitive to other faith traditions when friends and family members are from outside the church. We are a Christian congregation, and this fact will be reflected in the services offered.

The Worship Service

Arrangements for a funeral or memorial service can be made by contacting our minister, who will develop the service with you. The capacity of our Sanctuary is approximately 160 people.  According to the guidelines of the United Church of Canada it is our policy that funerals and memorial services are to be conducted by our minister and organist. The inclusion of other religious personnel requires discussion with our minister and worship committee.

Our music director can work with you to choose and provide music at the funeral or memorial service. Soloists and other musicians can be discussed and/or arranged by the music director.

Memorial Gifts

Ministry within our community and the wider world is made possible by generous donations.  We are pleased to be able to serve you at this difficult time. Donations from family and friends of the deceased may be directed to Chalmers United Church Kintore. Online donations may be made at www.kintorechurch.com or by contacting Marg Ogar at 519-645-1245. 

Funeral Costs

Helping you in this stressful time is the primary concern of the congregation, however there are financial aspects which need to be considered also.  Compensation for our minister and music services would be appropriate. Fees can be discussed with the minister and organist.

We can also provide you with names of local caterers able to assist with refreshments after the funeral.
