A Memorial Medallion of Honor with an accompanying certificate is to be presented by an administrator, education superintendent ministerial director, or ACM representative, or other at the funeral or memorial service of all clergy and educators who served the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Each conference and union are encouraged to purchase a supply of medallions from AdventSource to present as tributes to the family of deceased Adventist educators. When an Adventist pastor, educator, or chaplain passes, their immediate supervisor at the conference, union, or division level or their designee, will attend the funeral service and present the memorial medallion and certificate to the family in recognition of the deceased’s service to the Seventh-day Adventist Church. After the funeral families can affix the medallion on the grave marker.
