Contact The Church For Availability
You will want to contact your church to see if they have availability for the funeral service.

Ask The Pastor To Officiate
Having a church leader at the service, officiating the event, can really make it feel like a great church service that revolves around your loved one. The pastor probably knows your loved one and can incorporate their faith into the service for everyone to appreciate. They can run the service in a way that is comforting for everyone.
Follow Traditions

It can give your family something that they expect and it can allow everyone to feel comfortable with the way things are happening. If your family has had services like this in the past for other members, they know what will happen as they move towards the final service.
Infuse Hymns/Scripture/Prayers
Having a religious service might mean infusing things like hymns, scripture, and prayers into the service as well as items about your loved one.
