The Funeral Pastor

Honouring lives with compassion and Christian hope

The Funeral Pastor, Reverent Kevin
At The Funeral Pastor, we understand the deep sorrow and sacred significance of saying farewell to a loved one. We are here to walk with you in this difficult time, offering heartfelt Christian funeral services and wakes that honour life, share hope, and point to the comfort of God’s promises.

Led by an experienced Christian pastor, we provide personalised services that reflect the life, values, and faith of your loved one. Whether in a church, a chapel, at home, or another meaningful location, we will help you plan a ceremony that is sincere, comforting, and full of grace.

You don’t need to be a church member to access our services. If you share the Christian faith or simply desire a respectful, faith-filled farewell for your loved one, we are here for you. We welcome and support anyone seeking a service that honours life with sincerity, grace, and hope.

What we do

Led by qualified and experienced Pastor Kevin Went, who coordinates funerals across Gauteng, we are committed to providing sincere, comforting, and grace-filled ceremonies that reflect the life, values, and faith of your loved one. While Kevin and his team primarily serves within Gauteng, we also have a trusted network of qualified and experienced Pastors and Ministers in major cities such as Pretoria, Cape Town, Bloemfontein, Port Elizabeth, Gqeberha, and East London. Whether the service is held in a church, chapel, home, or even a meaningful venue like your favourite country club, we are here to help you plan a fitting and personal farewell.

We can help you arrange a funeral, memorial service, wake, or celebration-of-life event in a church, chapel, home, garden, country club, or any venue that holds special meaning for you and your family. These options can be customised through our available packages.
2. What does a typical funeral ceremony include, and how much does it cost?
Each service is tailored to reflect the life and faith of your loved one. A typical ceremony includes a welcome, prayers, Scripture readings, a eulogy, worship or reflective music, words of hope, and a closing blessing. We offer two carefully structured packages to suit different needs and budgets—please see our Service Packages page for full details and transparent pricing.

A message of hope

In times of loss, when words often fall short, we are here to walk with you — gently, prayerfully, and with compassion. We believe every life matters and deserves to be honoured with sincerity, dignity, and hope.

We draw strength from the timeless words of Psalm 23, which remind us that even in the valley of the shadow of death, we are not alone. God is near — guiding, comforting, and restoring our souls. He leads us beside still waters. He makes us lie down in green pastures. Even when the path is dark or unfamiliar, His presence is our peace.

Our team, led by Spirit-filled and authentic pastors, is here to serve you — whether or not you're part of a church, and whether you're planning something small and personal or something more formal. We bring grace into the planning process, helping you say goodbye in a way that reflects faith, love, and the life your loved one lived.
