What to do first

  • Schedule a pastor for the service. Call Vineyard Cincinnati at (513) 671-0422 Ext. 393. 
  • Our pastors are available to preside over services at a local off-site location or the Chapel on our campus. 
  • Select and make an appointment with a funeral home.

We offer the following services in our Chapel:

  • A Vineyard pastor will conduct the funeral or memorial service.
  • An audio visual/sound technician and a funeral coordinator will be provided.
  • The use of the Chapel, capacity approximately 350.

Music, Programs and Slideshows

  • We have a sound system in our Chapel which will allow for live musicians during the funeral service. We are unable to contact or schedule musicians.
  • We also have a large screen in the Chapel on which a PowerPoint presentation can be played. Our Sound Tech can be available to play the presentation during the funeral service, but we are unable to make the PowerPoint presentation for you.
  • We are unable to print funeral programs. Programs can be printed through your funeral home or by going through a local printing shop.
