Reader or Practitioner Notification of the Clergy

Due to the members beliefs toward sickness and healing, most deaths of Church of Christ, Scientist will come under the jurisdiction of a Coroner, Medical Examiner or Justice of the Peace and will take place somewhere other than a medical facility.

  • The circumstances surrounding the death will determine whether or not any restrictions will be placed.

Removal of the Remains

  • Embalming and public viewing are based on individual customs and wishes of the deceased and family.

  • There are no beliefs within the Church to either encourage or discourage its members from being embalmed.

Preparation of the Remains

  • Clothing and casket are left up to the individual preferences of the family.

  • Since this is a Church of laymen, without clergy to express “official opinions” it appears that the individual and family preferences determine most of the activities involved when a death occurs.

Dressing and Casketing the Remains

Similar to other protestant denominations with a few notable exceptions:

  • Funeral service may be held anywhere except the Christian Science Church. (Most often the funeral home or the cemetery, either in the chapel or actual grave site).

  • Officiant will be either a Practitioner or a Reader

The Funeral Service

  • Method of disposition is left up to individual preference.

  • Earth burial, entombment and cremation are all permissable.
