Funeral Services

Funerals are worship services where we acknowledge death and bereavement, and celebrate the gospel of resurrection. Services are most likely scheduled in our Sanctuary, open to all members of the congregation to share in the remembrance. Our pastoral staff is available to offer assistance, consultation, and leadership. Contact one of our three pastors at any time for care and support in death, dying, and memorial service planning.

During this difficult time the church reminds all that not only has the departed experienced a transition, but the loved ones left behind can confidently rely on a faithful God who is able to impart peace and comfort to enable them to find strength and the will to live a life of hope and promise.
Marietta First United Methodist church offers compassion and support to bereaved families by:

· Assisting in the planning of a funeral or memorial service.
· Providing a minister to officiate at a funeral or memorial service either here or at another location.

If you have a death in your family and would like to have the service at Marietta FUMC or one of our ministers to officiate at another location please call Beth Dawson at 770-429-7850, ext. 7829. Pastors will contact the family and meet with them to make arrangements for the funeral service. These arrangements can also be handled off site. A pastor will meet with the family as needed to plan the service.
