Funerals

Having to face the loss of a loved one is never an easy thing to accept. At St. James by-the-Sea we have a compassionate staff that is sensitive to the needs of the family and works side-by-side to help plan the funeral service and to offer comfort and guidance. The death of a loved one brings pain to us precisely because we love them, and the grief process makes it possible for that pain to be replaced with all the wonderful memories we once shared.

If your family has experienced the loss of a loved one, or if you would like to pre-arrange your burial services at St. James, please contact our church office via email or call us at 858-459-3421.
