The Episcopal Church has beautiful liturgies for those experiencing grief and loss. Rev. Paula is willing to officiate at funeral home and graveside services, as well as officiating full funeral and burial services at St. Stephen's. You do not need to be a member of the parish to have a service at St. Stephen's or to be buried in our historic cemetery or interred in our mausoleum.
Conversations and support about end-of-life planning and bereavement are available, too. You are encouraged to discuss aging and end-of-life issues with your family and loved ones, and to speak with Rev. Paula about your personal preferences or to receive support at the time of the loss.
For pre-planning, funeral, or bereavement needs, please call the parish office at 973.376.0688 and press "2".
