CHRISTCHURCH NORTH METHODIST PARISH
THE FUNERAL PREFERENCE FILE
One of the certainties of life is that we will eventually die. When that happens it will have a profound effect on our loved ones and friends.
Our Christian faith provides us with a resource, to face the inevitability of our deaths with hope, courage and the Love of God.
To plan ahead for the event of our death is not a morbid attitude but a hopeful and valid expression of the value of the life God has given us.
THE FUNERAL PREFERENCE FILE is to meet these concerns; 1. That when I die I want my next-of-kin and friends to have easy access to information as required and be able to plan for the funeral and take into account my preferences such as Music, Flowers etc.
2. It is our intention that in offering this document to our parishioners the information could be lodged in a safe place in our church office, fully confidential and easily accessible to my family and friends. Alternatively you might want to pass this information on to a family member/ friend or keep it yourself for safekeeping.
3. It would be understood that if I wished to make any changes in the contents I could do so easily and without embarrassment.
IF YOU PREFER, DOWNLOAD THE FORM ATTACHED, FILL OUT THE APPROPRIATE PAGE, AND RETURN IT TO THE MINISTER.
YOU DON'T NEED TO FILL OUT EVERY QUESTION. JUST RECORD THE INFORMATION YOU WANT YOUR CHURCH OR YOUR FAMILY TO KEEP.
YOU CAN SEND IT TO THE MINISTER BY EMAIL ( taufachchnorth@xtra.co.nz )OR YOU CAN DROP IT OFF TO THE MINISTER'S OFFICE.
