Funerals

The death of a loved one affects us deeply.  We can support you in the arranging and planning of a funeral and, if you need us, through the process of bereavement. 

Normally you will have first made contact with an undertaker who will then contact the church office to make the arrangements to hold the funeral at a time that is convenient to all concerned.

The officiating priest will arrange a meeting to plan the service with the family, including hymns, music and readings, to make the occasion as personal as possible.

The funeral service usually takes about 30-45 minutes and the Committal would then follow at a local crematorium or cemetery or with burial in the churchyard.  In the case of a cremation, arrangements can be made, if wished, for the ashes to be interred in the churchyard at a later date.

If a funeral service has been held elsewhere, a memorial service of thanksgiving can be held in the church.
