Dedications, marriages and funerals

The Salvation Army is always available to assist you on your special day or in your hour of need. Our officers (pastors) can conduct dedications, marriages and funerals for you or your loved ones. Please contact your local Salvation Army church for more information.

Dedications

This service is similar to a typical christening or infant baptism, however water is not used. The service most often takes place during a normal Sunday church service, where parents make a public declaration of thanks to God for blessing them with a child. Parents make promises about raising their child with Christian values and teaching their child about Jesus.

Marriages

The Salvation Army believes marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman. Salvation Army officers are available to conduct your wedding ceremony and also offer pre-marriage counselling to help couples plan for their life together.

Salvation Army officers are legally licensed to perform marriages and are required by the Government to register all ceremonies in the official records of the State.

Funerals

Salvation Army officers are always available to provide care and support through the trauma of the death of a loved family member or friend. Our officers can also provide a meaningful ceremony and assistance with arrangements.

If you are looking for a low-cost funeral service either now or for the future, please consider Salvos Funerals . We offer quality, affordable service with transparent pricing — with all profits directed towards the work of The Salvation Army.

For more information about dedications, weddings or funerals, contact a Salvation Army church in your local area.
