Example program for a homegoing service
An example homegoing program with Psalm 23 and John 14 from the King James Version, the obituary, reflections and the eulogy.
This program belongs to a homegoing service in a Baptist church. The family enters during the processional, and everyone sings "Blessed Assurance". Ministers read Psalm 23 and John 14, both printed in the King James Version. After the acknowledgments, the obituary is read silently while the organ plays, and family and friends share their reflections. The pastor gives the eulogy.
The program gives the time of the viewing, the interment and the repast, and ends with the acknowledgment from the family.
