Funeral Luncheons are provided to our families who have lost a loved one. The luncheon takes place in Shepherds Hall or the Activity Center, depending on the number attending, following the Funeral Liturgy. This offers the family a time to laugh, cry, and celebrate their loved one’s life in a relaxed and comfortable setting, while sharing a meal together.
