  • Families who have not paid the funeral expenses can submit the Funeral Expense Reimbursement form along with the funeral home invoice for approval and Samaritan's Purse will pay the Funeral Home directly for the expenses.

  • Expenses covered are funeral expenses, burial plot expenses, and/or vault cost

 

Samaritan’s Purse

  • The story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37) gives a clear picture of God's desire for us to help those who are in need wherever we find them. After describing how the Samaritan rescued a hurting man whom others had passed by, Jesus told His hearers, "Go and do likewise."

  • For over 50 years, Samaritan's Purse has done its utmost to follow Christ's command. Samaritan's Purse is a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. The organization serves the Church worldwide to promote the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
