Funerals

Death is the great intruder into life, whether sudden or after a long illness. We aim to have a priest or other minister available 24/7 to respond with telephone support or a home visit when someone is near death or has died. Please telephone the Rectory on 01952 727396. If nobody can come to the phone, please leave a message, and also, if the answer-phone asks you to phone a different number please do so. The priest or minister can be invited to say prayers around the time of death and give pastoral support to bereaved people.

Once you choose a Funeral Director, they will attend to, and give advice about, all the practical details, and if you wish you can leave it to them to contact the minister about the funeral.  Acting on your instructions, the Funeral Director will book the time, date, place and minister for the funeral.

The National Association of Funeral Directors has a useful section on Frequently Asked Questions, accessible on this link: http://www.nafd.org.uk/funeral-advice/funeral-arrangements/frequently-asked-questions.aspx
