The Process
When we lose someone dear to us, we begin a long process of healing. A Celebration of Life Service can encourage us in this healing journey. As we gather with friends and family, we can mourn our beloved’s passing and celebrate their meaning in our lives. God gives us these memories to sustain us as we come to terms with our loss. At Roser Church, we would like to come along side you and assist you in planning this special event.
Our pastors will make every effort to be available to preside over your service. If would like another ordained pastor to preside, a Roser Pastor will need to schedule a conversation with that individual, to ensure that the service remains consistent with our Christian beliefs and practices.
Start the Process
To begin the process of reserving Roser Church for an anticipated service, please complete our Celebration of Life Inquiry form online. Once you submit this form, we will contact you as soon as possible to further plan your event.
The Venue
Our HISTORIC CHAPEL seats ninety guests comfortably. The Chapel has an organ, piano, and space for an instrumental soloist or small ensemble.
Our main SANCTUARY comfortably seats about 400 guests.
Our beautiful Rose Garden is available for the interment of ashes. Interment services are available to both Members and Non-Members, while niches are only available for Members. Separate fees do apply (see below).
Music, Video and Sound
A pianist or organist may be available to participate in the surface, or than can approve a musician of your choice. Video and sound technicians are also available. We will discuss these services with you during the planning process. Additional fees may apply (see below).
