When our loved ones pass from this life into the next, we feel a lot of emotions.  A memorial service, funeral, celebration of life, is an opportunity to express our sorrow, to be comforted by God, and to celebrate their life.

Whether you are being helped by a funeral home or not, FCC is honored to help you plan a memorial service for your loved one.  Please contact the church for more information.

Memorial Service Calling Hours & Receptions

The First Congregational Church’s Auditorium and Dining Room are both spaces that can be used for calling hours and memorial service receptions.  Please see Facilities for more information.

The Ellen W. Nestico Memorial Garden

The Ellen W. Nestico Memorial Garden at the First Congregational Church was created to be a simple, dignified resting place for the cremains of loved ones and also a place for reflection, meditation, and prayer.  For more information about interments in the Memorial Garden, please contact the church.

Memorial Gifts & Book of Remembrance

In lieu of flowers, families often recommend memorial gifts in honor of their loved one’s life.  Throughout the years, memorial gifts have enhanced the ministry of the First Congregational Church in important ways.  Memorial gifts may be directed to the Book of Remembrance or to any of FCC’s existing funds.
