If you have come to this section of the website because you need to arrange a funeral then this is likely to be a difficult time for you and so we hope that we can help make working out the details of the arrangements easier for you.^*

A funeral is used to mark the end of a person's life here on earth. Family and friends come together to express grief, give thanks for the life lived and commend the person into God's keeping. These can be a small, quiet ceremony or a large occasion in a packed church.

Everyone is entitled to either a burial service (funeral) or to have their ashes buried in their local parish churchyard by their local parish priest regardless of whether they attended church or not.^{* *}

For further information please speak with our Rector.
