Funerals
When someone you love dies, there is much to carry. In the midst of grief, you do not have to make your way alone. At Saint Peter’s, we are here to be with you—offering prayer, presence, and care as you honor the life of the one you love and commend them into God’s merciful care.
If a death has just taken place please contact the church as soon as you are able.

Funeral and memorial services at Saint Peter’s are:
Grounded in prayer and Episcopal liturgy
Held in the church or another appropriate setting
Planned with care, at a pace that honors your grief

Our Memorial Garden
Nestled among the trees on our campus, the Memorial Garden is a quiet place of remembrance, prayer, and hope.
With pathways, benches, and surrounding plantings, the garden offers a peaceful setting to remember loved ones and rest in God’s enduring care. It is a place where grief may be held gently, where memory is honored, and where generations are gathered in grace and love.
