Anyone can have a Church of England funeral, whether a churchgoer or not. A Church of England funeral can take place in any of these locations:

Parish Church

Crematorium

Cemetery

Woodland or Green burial site

A Church funeral provides a safe space to express grief but also to celebrate and give thanks to God for the unique life of the person you loved.

A member of the clergy team will visit you to hear about the person you knew and loved, and will go through the details of the funeral service itself, including music, hymns, readings, Bible reading and the eulogy or tribute.
