Celebration of Life Services
Our heart is to provide spiritual comfort and guidance to your family as you grieve.
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” – Psalm 34:18
At FBC, we consider it our unique privilege to support and care for you and your family during this time of loss. We want to provide spiritual comfort and guidance to your family as you grieve. We want to help you think through the details necessary to create a Celebration of Life Service that will honor the deceased, bring people together, and provide hope in Jesus Christ. We believe that coming together to remember a loved one is an important part of the grieving journey, and we are honored to host such services. Scroll down to find more information.

F.A.Q.s
Do we have to be a member of FBC to hold a Celebration of Life service here?
Due to our limited space and resources, we give priority to our church members, regular attenders, and their immediate families. For every Celebration of Life request, we reserve the right to evaluate our staffing and facility availability before we agree to host the memorial.
On what days can FBC host my Celebration of Life event?
Celebration of Life services can be held during the hours of 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday only. Our facility and staff are not available on weekends.
What is the cost of holding a Celebration of Life service at FBC?
If we are able to host your Celebration of Life event, all costs will be covered by FBC. We encourage you to provide an honorarium for your Pastor and Event Coordinator and we can provide you with a pay scale to consider.
Are we able to use an outside pastor?
Outside pastors are welcome to officiate your event after they have been approved by FBC pastoral staff. If you are planning to use an officiant other than an FBC pastor, please let your Event Coordinator know as soon as possible so the approval process may begin.
Can we have live musicians?
Although most of our services use standard recorded musical selections, you may choose to have live musicians (ie. a pianist, a soloist, etc.). Any live musicians must be secured and paid for by the family, and they will need to arrive early for a sound check. If you plan to have live musicians as part of your service, please let your Event Coordinator know so arrangements can be made with our sound team.
Can we have a reception after the service?
Absolutely! Celebration of Life receptions are held in our lobby directly following the service. This typically consists of some light refreshments and time to remember and celebrate your loved one in fellowship with others. Families are responsible for the selection and procurement of refreshments, but we have a hospitality team that may be available to serve at the reception. We will discuss this during the planning stages of your event.
If I have any questions, who can I contact?
Please call our main office at 303-904-4322 or info@4fbc.org or for more information, read our Celebration of Life Planning Guide.
