Like all people of faith, Unitarian Universalists honor events of
great significance in the life cycle with religious observances.
Our theological diversity, our emphasis upon the day-to-day realities of each life stage,
and our belief that values are best expressed through the deeds of our living,
combine to grant us unique gifts when crafting the rituals
that mark our most meaningful days.
Ceremonies of Naming and Dedication
Naming and Dedication services are held for infants and small
children to honor and celebrate a new life coming into our world.
This is a time for the gathered family and friends to dedicate
themselves to the support of the child throughout his or her life-journey.
Wedding and Commitment Ceremonies
Unitarian Universalists celebrate the commitment of life-long
partnership and honor the transformative power of love through
the celebration of Wedding Ceremonies and Commitment
Ceremonies for same gender couples. Unitarian Universalist wedding
and commitment ceremonies are crafted by the couple in close collaboration with the minister.
The hope is to craft a service which uniquely reflects the couple’s vision of their relationship
and their hopes for a shared future.
Memorial and Funeral Services
In Memorial and Funeral services we hope to honor and celebrate
the fullness of a life now gone from our midst. We seek to craft a service
that is both meaningful and comforting for the bereaved and which
stays true to the life of the deceased.
Whether or not you are currently involved with a Unitarian
Universalist congregation, if you are in the New York area and would like more information about
having a service or rite of passage performed, please feel free to contact me.
