Christian funerals 

At this difficult time we would like to walk with you as you mourn and say goodbye to a loved one. Christian funerals provide such hope in a difficult time.

Some people find planning the funeral with family and friends helps in their grieving. Perhaps you already know something of what your loved one wanted.
You may have even planned the service together some time ago.

If you are uncertain, the vicar who will lead the service, can help you choose suitable readings, hymns and prayers. If they did not know your loved one well, they will want to talk with you to build up a picture of the persons life. This may take only one meeting but sometimes it can be more. 

Some deaths will be especially traumatic, distressing or unexpected. The Church has special funerals for children, or after sudden or violent deaths, including suicide. Talk with your vicar about what is possible.
