Funerals
Your Funeral Director will help you make arrangements with us to mark the death of someone close to you. This can take place in Church and/or at a local crematorium or cemetery.
Facing bereavement is one of the most difficult things we are called on to do in our whole lives. It comes to all of us at some time and we are often quite unprepared for the strength and depth of the shock of personal loss. No one can grieve for you. It is a deeply personal experience and one which we deny ourselves at great peril. What can be of help is the knowledge of the support of family and friends. We also have a team of bereavement visitors who are trained to support you.
Please download our 'Bereavement Leaflet' (see Publications).
