Funeral services are only conducted for eligible Greek Orthodox Christians. Anyone wishing to have a Greek Orthodox funeral service must have been Baptized and Chrismated in the Orthodox Church and, if married, had their marriage blessed in the Orthodox Church.

 

If your loved one is about to pass away, it is important to contact the Priest immediately so that he may perform their last rights. This includes the offering of Holy Confession, Holy Communion, and prayers.

 

If your loved one has already passed away, please contact the funeral home and the church to coordinate the funeral date before any other details are finalized. 

​
