As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives
and that at the last he will stand
upon the earth.
After my awaking, he will raise me up;
and in my body I shall see God.
I myself shall see, and my eyes behold him
who is my friend and not a stranger.
— The Book of Common Prayer p. 491
Church of Our Saviour offers memorial services both on- and offsite, along with pastoral support for the bereaved. We know that the death of a loved one can be a difficult time, and we are here to walk with you as you grieve this transition and celebrate a life.
We also encourage all of our members to prepare for their own memorial service in advance, which can help guide family members and friends through planning a liturgy in your memory. A form for this purpose is found in our Memorial Service booklet.
Needing to plan a memorial service? Download our full Memorial Service booklet, contact the parish office or call (415) 388-1907. We will be happy to assist you.
Generally, a body is present during a funeral, while a memorial service is offered following burial or cremation. We offer both services, depending on the wishes of the family.

The remains are incorporated into memorial relicts that hang with markers on the memorial garden wall. The parish office has more details about our memorial garden.
