Funerals and Memorial Services
Funerals
Funerals are a very important way of marking the end of a life on earth. They are an opportunity for friends and family to express their grief, to gather up the threads of the life of the deceased, to give thanks for them, and to commend them to God's keeping. The words of the service speak to us of hope, of the love of God and of life with him beyond death. We are happy to discuss arranging a funeral for anyone who has a connection with our church, perhaps through working nearby, or through one of our associated livery companies or other links.
Memorial Service
Memorial services are an opportunity to remember and celebrate a life, and are usually held a few months after the funeral. The service is primarily one of thanksgiving to God for all that a person meant to us, and incorporates prayers, biblical and secular readings and music which reflect the tastes and interests of the person being remembered.
