Funerals
We believe in honoring the lives of our departed with dignity and compassion. Our team is here to guide you through the funeral planning process, offering comfort, spiritual solace, and a respectful farewell.
While funerals and memorial services acknowledge grief, our focus is celebrating the deceased’s life, legacy, and new life in Christ. Our goal is to combine the joy that accompanies fond memories and the hope we have because of God’s promise of eternal life.
If you wish to schedule a funeral or memorial service, please contact Christy Stafford in our church office: cstafford@fmcz.org or 813-782-5645.
We will work with you and the funeral home to establish a date and time for the service at the church, funeral home, or graveside. Before the service, family members meet with a pastor to plan the service, including hymns, scripture passages, or other elements that will make the service more personal for the family.
Some people opt to plan their funeral or memorial service before they die. If you do, please make sure your family is aware of your wishes. Our pastor will be glad to talk with you about pre-planning your funeral if desired.
