Memorial and Funeral Services
Reverend Andrea Purtell ULC

Please see my special Memorial and Funeral Services Website


Although the majority of my work is spent Officiating weddings, vow renewals and baby blessings. I am honored to officiate memorial and funeral services as well.

Memorial and funeral services provide an opportunity for family and friends to honor and remember their loved ones. It is where the community can come together to stand by those who grieve and show support and sympathy.
It is a time to affirm our faith as we reflect on life’s transitions and the mystery of death.

To be part of such a sacred service is humbling and I do my very best to represent your loved ones wishes and to fulfill your requests as how to best pay tribute and celebrate the memory of his/her spirit.

My goal is to provide a service that compassionately supports and consoles the family and friends of the loved one as they grieve, pay tribute to, fondly remember, laugh and cry together.

We will begin by addressing the loss and grief we feel. We will join in prayer and reflection. We will remember your loved one with eulogies and personal stories.

I provide spiritual, religious, interfaith as well as non-religious memorial services. I will work closely with you to write the ceremony you desire for your loved one.

I will provide a service at your funeral home, or wherever you would like to gather.

Living just blocks from the beach here at the Jersey Shore, memorial services with the scattering of ashes at sea is common and if this is something that you would like I recommend the boat “Miss. Michelle” out of Point Pleasant Beach, NJ. Captain Ron is experienced and excellent. We gather on the boat and once we get to the destination that you and Captain Ron have decided on, we anchor and have our service out on the vast Atlantic Ocean.  We end with the scattering of ashes.  Each guest then throws a flower, rose petals or other such memento in the water.

You may also be interested in having a memorial service on the beach, out by the jetty or gather at a local park.
The suggested fee for my services is $280 . This is based on the service being held local, to the Point Pleasant Beach or surrounding area. I do travel throughout New Jersey and request a minimal fee for mileage beyond 40 mile round trip from Point Pleasant Beach.

** I understand that there may be other bills associated with a loved one’s passing, such as medical, travel and other funeral fees. My fee scale ranges from $0-?  If you would like my services but it is not in your budget do not stress, If I am available I would be honored to have the opportunity to officiate your loved ones memorial.

See my collection of bible verses and readings that I have gathered from many sources. You may find comfort in reading through them and choosing ones to incorporate into the service or your eulogy.
