Funerals are a time of sadness at the loss of a loved one as well as a time for friends and family to celebrate the person’s life. 

A funeral in church offers both space and time for a personalised service.  Committal at the Crematorium or burial at the cemetery can be arranged to follow on.

The Benefice Ministers can conduct funerals in any church in the Benefice or at the Crematorium. They will work with the family to create a service with your choices of music, readings and tributes. 

Your funeral director will organise this for you, or you may contact the the Rector directly - link here
