Graveside services, visits, and grief support in Tulsa

How I can help

At the graveside, at the bedside, and in the days after

A graveside service can be the whole gathering, or it can be the last part of a funeral. I can lead that time at the cemetery with words of committal and with care for the people who are standing there. Some families want it brief. Some want a reading, a prayer, and a little more space to speak. We'll plan that so it does not feel rushed or formal just for the sake of being formal.

I also make end-of-life visits. I can come to the home or the hospital for bedside prayer, a last rites prayer if that is what your family wants, or simply to be present with someone who is sick or dying. You do not have to belong to a church to ask me to come. If the need is soon, please say so in the message so I can respond as quickly as I can.

Grief does not end when the guests go home. I offer bereavement and grief support after a death or a service, for families who want someone to keep walking with them. That might be a conversation in the days after the funeral, or longer support if you need it. I've been a hospice chaplain for 10 years, and this part of the work matters as much to me as the service itself.

I serve families in Tulsa, Sapulpa, Broken Arrow, Bixby, Jenks, Sand Springs, Glenpool, Owasso, and nearby towns. The form on this page is the best way to reach me, whether you need a graveside service, a visit, or grief support. There is no phone number published on this site, and there is no obligation when you write. If you also need a funeral officiant or help with a eulogy, I can do that work too.
