Does your pastor conduct memorial or funeral services?
Yes. Our pastor, Rev. Scott Elliott, is available to officiate at both memorial and funeral services provided the service is
planned on a day he is available.
How do we arrange for your pastor to conduct a memorial or funeral service?
Call our church office (723-3963) and arrange a meeting with Rev. Elliott.
What typically happens after we set up a meeting with the pastor?
Typically the pastor meets with the family, shares in their sorrow and tries to provide comfort in their time of need. If
needed he also tries to arrange for time, date and size of the service. He asks questions about the loved one and listens
carefully to answers. He then creates a service that celebrates the life of the person described. Rev. Elliott is known for
services that not only celebrate the life of the lost one, but capturing the essence of who they were, as well as bringing a
strong sense of the Sacred to the service.
Can additional meetings be arranged?
Additional meetings and assistance can be arranged.
What part of the service is the pastor responsible for?
Rev. Elliott handle the words and order of the service and officiates over the service. Unless otherwise agreed to the
family is responsible for all other portions of the memorial, funeral, disposition and/or reception.

No. The family need not be members of Riviera United Church of Christ to have Rev. Elliott officiate at a service or for
use of the church facilities.
