Funerals at HUMC

When a death is imminent, our pastor or care team will welcome the opportunity to come and pray with you. Please call or email our office or pastor to alert our staff, and we will make every effort to come to you. 

If you wish for Pastor Jon to conduct the service for your loved one, and/or you wish for the service to be conducted in one of our sanctuaries, please reach out at the earliest opportunity to ensure availability. If you are working with a funeral home, please provide the funeral director with our office contact information, (816) 380-3424, so that we can coordinate services.

Please let us know if a funeral director is involved in your loved one’s service, as we will coordinate with them to ensure all logistics are taken care of.

If there is not a funeral director involved in your loved one’s service, we will handle the logistics of the service, including contacting musicians, a/v techs, and custodial services.

For planning purposes, it would be helpful to know any favorite scriptures or songs, as well as if any family member or friend would like to speak at the service.

Harrisonville United Methodist Church is honored to open our doors to families in our community during times of loss. You do not need to be a member of our congregation to hold a celebration of life, memorial service, or funeral in our facility. Whether your loved one worshiped with us for decades or you're simply looking for a warm, welcoming space to gather and remember, we would be glad to help.

At HUMC, we have numerous spaces available for use. 

For larger gatherings, the sanctuary is adequate for services; for smaller groups, our prayer chapel holds comfortable seating for 10- 20 people. 

After the service, if you wish to have a meal or light refreshments, the Life Center or The Hub is available for receptions. For more information, click here.
