Our Coptic Orthodox Christian Burial Service honors the sacred traditions of one of the world’s oldest Christian faiths. Rooted in the ancient heritage of the Egyptian Church, this service reflects deep reverence, devotion, and the enduring hope of resurrection in Christ. We understand the importance of preserving these time-honored rituals and supporting families with care, compassion, and respect.
A Coptic Orthodox funeral service traditionally includes prayers from the Book of Psalms, readings from Holy Scripture, and the chanting of ancient Coptic hymns that express both sorrow and faith in eternal life. The presence of a priest is central to the ceremony, offering blessings and prayers for the soul’s peaceful rest and eternal union with God.
Depending on family preference and parish custom, the service may also include incense, icons, and processional elements reflecting the Coptic Church’s beautiful liturgical heritage. Families are encouraged to include personal touches such as readings, reflections, or the inclusion of sacred music meaningful to their loved one.
Our serene cemetery setting offers a peaceful space for prayer and remembrance, honoring the Coptic Orthodox belief in resurrection and everlasting life. We are committed to helping families observe every tradition with dignity and spiritual integrity, from the church service to the final resting place.
