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, email the parish office at or call (415) 388-1907. We will be happy to assist you.
