Adult Forum: Good Shepherd Funeral Planning Guidelines. In response to a request from members of the congregation, we have developed a set of guidelines to be used in planning a funeral at Good Shepherd without the assistance of a professional funeral home. Increasingly, our members are opting for cremation at the time of death, and with that choice comes a degree of flexibility and freedom with regard to making arrangements for one’s funeral. These new guidelines are intended to assist our members in making plans for their, or a loved one’s service, without employing a professional funeral home. Come and learn more about this option and how it may be a useful tool for you as you consider end of life planning.
