Text Box: Rev. Johnny Erato Long Island Wedding Officiant, LogoText Box: Funerals/Memorial Services Text Box: Funerals (with a casket present) and memorial services (without a casket) provide an opportunity for family and friends to honor and remember the departed. These services also show support and sympathy for those who grieve to openly express and share their grief and sadness, and to better focus their thoughts on the departed. Text Box: I am honored to perform all types of unique and personalized Religious, Non-Religious, Civil, Christian, Non-Christian, Denominational (All Denominations: Baptist, Christian Reformed, Church of the Nazarene, Episcopalian, Evangelican Covenant, Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Reformed Church in America, etc.,) Non-Denominational, Universal Life, and Church of Spiritual Humanism in any setting you like whether it be in a private house, church, funeral home or outdoors. Text Box: TYPES OF FUNERAL/MEMORIAL SERVICES I PERFORM Text Box: TYPICAL CHRISTIAN FUNERAL/MEMORIAL SERVICE OUTLINE Text Box: I will meet with you in advance so that we can make a biographical sketch of the departed. We will make note of their life achievements, the things they enjoyed, their religious beliefs and feelings, and who survives them. We will try to capture the essence of their life and personality. Some additional information I compile is: Interests and Hobbies Favorite songs and/or musical artists What single word comes to mind when you think of the departed? Often used sayings/phrases Nicknames Achievements/Accomplishments If he/she could have me say one thing at the service, what would it be? If desired, we can place personal items of the departed beside the casket. A montage of photographs can be very interesting and comforting, also.
