Our Pastors and those in the front office ordinarily work with family and loved ones to set a date for the funeral or memorial service, and the pastor who will be officiating helps coordinate communication with the funeral director and the family to plan the service. Funeral and Memorial services held at Pinnacle may take place in either the chapel or the main sanctuary.
If desired by the family, Deacons offer a reception following the service. The reception is held in the Chapel Conference Room or in Fellowship Hall depending on the location of the service. Light refreshments are provided by volunteers, in addition to tea, coffee, and lemonade.

Memorial Garden
From earliest times it has been customary for people of faith to be interred or commemorated in or near their church. The Memorial Garden at Pinnacle Presbyterian Church continues that tradition by offering a sacred space...
with individual places to memorialize the deceased
with the solitude of the majestic mountains rising quietly in the distance
with the soothing sound of water tricking over rocks worn smooth with time
with sand and desert landscape blending to form a perfect harmony
with a labyrinth to walk in silent contemplation and remembrance
Respect for those who have passed on, and those who remember them, is expressed by the permanence of the materials, and the symbolism of the entrance gate with words from the 23rd Psalm carved above it, “He leads me beside still waters.”
A Place of Comfort
Since 1998, the Pinnacle Presbyterian Church Memorial Garden has been a space set aside for the inurnment of cremated remains of members of the Presbyterian faith, their immediate families and others approved by Pinnacle clergy.
The Garden, which continues the theme of the Pinnacle campus, streams in the desert, is located immediately north of the Sanctuary. It is a place of comfort, reverence, respect and care. It is also the site for an annual memorial service. The Memorial Garden is open year-round, seven days a week during daylight hours.
