Funerals
There is nothing anyone can say or do which could ever make up for the loss of a loved one. A church funeral can, however, provide a perfect opportunity to celebrate their life, to share together in prayer, and to set the tragedy of death in the wider context of Christian hope.
These pages provide a selection of readings and prayers suitable for a funeral service. You may also find them helpful during the weeks and months after the funeral, as you begin to come to terms with your bereavement.
Your funeral director should arrange for a priest to visit, giving an opportunity to talk and to plan the funeral. If you need to get in touch at any time, you'll find details of how to do so on the Contact page.
