Could anyone direct me to a site which has the Mnimosino Service in English? I am also searching for music notation to fit the English (if possible)

Dear Catherine

There are a number of services which fit the bill. The Greeks have the Trisagion which is the very short service (about 5 minutes) conducted when the dead are commemorated at the gravesite, or towards the end of Liturgy. The Russians and other Slavs have the Panikhida (various spellings), a longer service (about 20 minutes), conducted usually as a stand-alone service, or towards the end of the liturgy on Saturdays for the Souls during Great Lent and other times of the year. Both services are abridged versions of the funeral service. Feel free to email me, I have these services on file, though not with music, though the music shouldn't be difficult to find online.

Olga,
When Kevin Lawrence (from the North Carolina) compiled the memorial service as well as the entire Funeral Service in English and Western Notation, it was such a blessing. You can order it online through this site.

He also has a wonderful Divine Liturgy book with all of the special hymns for most Sundays. Our congregation sings them all together ever Sunday.

Peace,
