Protestant Funerals

A Protestant ceremony is the most commonly requested in this country, but the services are as varied as the denominations themselves. Very often a Protestant pastor will design a funeral service instead of following a particular book of worship. The pastor will usually ask the family what type of service they prefer. Protestant funerals are generally preceded by a visitation period. The casket will be open or closed depending on the family’s wishes, but it is usually closed during the actual funeral service. Those attending a Protestant service often send flowers or gifts as an expression of their concern and feelings. Protestant ceremonies usually include scripture lessons that relate to death and the Christian concept of resurrection. The service may also include prayers, a sermon, and group reading or singing of hymns.
