Funerals
A funeral gives the opportunity to give thanks for someone’s life and to commend them to God
We will work with you and your funeral director to prepare a funeral for your loved one that reflects their life and wishes and your family preferences, as well expressing the Christian faith and hope.
The vicar is willing to lead funeral services at the crematorium, or at the graveside, as well as in church.
The vicar will always meet with the family both to think about the service and to offer a listening ear. We will be praying for you and for your loved one and are here to offer spiritual and emotional support where that is desired.
Every November families are invited to a memorial service where departed loved ones are remembered by name.
Increasingly people wish to give thought to their own funeral arrangements. This link can help you in thinking ahead.
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”
Psalms 23:4
The Church of England with you every step of the way offers support and guidance.
