You are welcome to celebrate the life of your loved one here at First Parish.

You may wish to engage your own minister or family friend to officiate.

If you'd like to visit us...

Join us for a worship service at 10:00am any Sunday morning or email us or call the office at 207-773-5747 and come in during the week.

At the preparation interviews, you will be able to

• Get to know the officiant

• Help the officiant to be acquainted with your deceased loved one's wishes

• Make final decisions with the officiant regarding ceremony words and ritual

• Give officiant a map and directions for an off-site service

The First Parish is a vibrant, active faith community. We welcome you into our space for your special day. Please be aware that because our parish is not solely an "event venue," we display our banners and flags at all times. Thank you for joining us in our historic space and for respecting our traditions.
