Funeral or Memorial Service

This is a Sacred Time

Funerals and Memorials are a time when we remember, grieve, laugh and cry, comfort one another in our sorrow, say goodbye and find ways to carry that person’s light and legacy into the future. Funerals are a sacred time and an important time to gather as community, share stories, hear words of hope and faith, and receive a blessing.

Providing a Space to Be Honoured

At The Donway Covenant United Church we make space for people to be honoured and their life to be celebrated after they die. We are committed to ensuring the service honours the loved one’s wishes, uses language and readings that are connected to the person who died, and sets those present at ease.


Music is a key component of the service. The ministerial team weaves into this time of remembrance appropriate music of all varieties, chosen together with the family. Additional soloists or instrumentalists are available upon request.


The Right Setting For You

The service may be held in the sanctuary (comfortable for groups of 75 to 300), at the funeral home chapel or graveside. Flowers, candles, a guest book, pictures and memorabilia are welcomed. Memorial cards for donations to be made to the church in the deceased’s memory are also available. Arrangements for donations to other charities or organizations should be made through the funeral home or the organization itself.


Should you choose to have the service at The Donway Covenant it is equipped with a semi-circular drop-off driveway, a gently sloped sidewalk, and wheelchair-accessible doors. We also have hearing assistance devices. If there will be people in attendance with sight problems, a large-print order of service can be supplied with advance notice.
