Planning a Remembrance
As Christians, we believe that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Jesus Christ – nothing in life, nothing in death. Still, the death of a loved one can feel overwhelming.
At First Palo Alto, we offer caring support during this difficult time, helping you to plan a celebration of life that will bring comfort.
Both church members and non-members alike are welcome to hold memorial services in our sanctuary under the guidance of our ministers and music staff.
Receptions can be scheduled in Kohlstedt Hall or the larger Fellowship Hall following the memorial service.
Call the church office at 650-323-6167 for specific details, or use our contact form.
Memorial Garden
In 1995, a small group of members of FUMCPA began planning a Memorial Garden in the church’s North Patio. Construction was completed in 1997, and the garden was dedicated on November 7 of that year.
We encourage FUMC members to consider making arrangements for their ashes to be buried in our Memorial Garden.
A small memorial service or interment can be held in the Memorial Garden.
