I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39

FUNERALS

Christian funerals can take place in church, at the graveside or at the crematorium. 

Before the Funeral

Preliminary meetings between the bereaved and the person taking the funeral (officiant) may be held by telephone or in person. If you have any queries, please contact Revd Dawn Ward at [email protected] or phone 07957 374191, or call the Churchwarden, Chris Hewlett, on 01845 524426.

Planning the Funeral

The officiant will explain what kind of service is available, and will discuss individual details and any special requests with the family.  Any changes to the normal service will be explained by the officiant. 

During the Funeral

 Please follow the directions of the officiant and funeral director.

After the Funeral

If you are organising the funeral of a loved one, we are acutely aware of what a difficult time this will be. We will do our best to explain any changes or delays, but we are here to support you and to ensure a Christian funeral and burial can still be provided. 

If planning to arrange a wake or other gathering after the funeral, please consult the officiant or funeral director.

If you have further queries, please contact the Assistant Priest or the Churchwarden (see contact details above).
