Pikes Peak Metropolitan Community Church and our Pastor are always honored when we are asked to enter into people’s lives in times of grief and loss. It is in these dark times that we are blessed to be able to support you and your family, providing consolation, a listening ear, and words of hope and reassurance.

If you choose to have a funeral or memorial service here at PPMCC, the first step is to call and reserve the sanctuary. If you choose to have Pastor Wes conduct the service and offer a eulogy, you will also need to speak with him and ensure that he is available. He will set a time to come and meet with you, discuss the service, and learn about your loved one (if he doesn’t already know them). This is generally a time that most family members and friends greatly appreciate as it is often spent thinking of fond memories and sharing the best about the person you lost. At that meeting, Pastor Wes will explain everything you will need to know about the service, and he will then take responsibility for getting all necessary elements together for the service.

Many wonder about the cost for the funeral. Generally, the costs are the same as they are for any other use of our building. Those are:

Sanctuary: $200.00 (free to PPMCC members)
Social hall and kitchen: $150.00 (free to PPMCC members)
Pastor’s Honorarium: $250.00
Soloists/Musicians: $50 per musician
Soundboard/Video Specialist: $50

With those fees stated, please note that PPMCC NEVER turns away anyone in need of a funeral or memorial service, regardless of their ability to pay. Pastor Wes has often done funerals when no honorarium was paid, and our building has been used many times for little or no cost. So, if you need to have the fees adjusted to meet your needs, simply discuss that with Pastor Wes, and be assured that everything will be taken care of. Our primary concern is that your loved one is laid to rest in a sacred way that honors and celebrates their life.

Finally, know that if you are reading this page, you are in our prayers. All those in need of the services of our congregation in times of grief are precious to us. We are grateful that we can be here to show you the love of God in a time when your heart is breaking. May God bless you.
