FUNERALS

We are here to support you in planning a funeral service with care, dignity and compassion.

​

The service can take place at St George's Church or at one of the local crematoria.

It is customary for your funeral director to contact the church on your behalf to make the initial arrangements, but you are also very welcome to get in touch directly if you have any questions or would like to discuss the service.

​

Every funeral is unique, and we will work closely with you to create a service that reflects the life, character and faith of the person who has died, while offering comfort and hope to those who gather to remember them.

​

The service may follow the traditional language of the Book of Common Prayer or use a contemporary liturgy, according to your wishes. There is also the opportunity to personalise the service with music, hymns, readings and a eulogy, celebrating the life and memories of your loved one.

A typical funeral service may include:

• Hymns and music

• Bible readings

• A eulogy

• Time for reflection and remembrance

• A short address from the priest

• Prayers

• The Commendation and Farewell

• ​

The eulogy may be given by Father Andrew, who will spend time with you beforehand to learn about your loved one's life, or by a family member or friend if you prefer. Some families also choose to include a slideshow or other personal tributes as part of the service.

​

If you would like to discuss funeral arrangements or have any questions, please contact Father Andrew at revmanson-brailsford@hotmail.co.uk. He will be pleased to talk through the options with you and help you plan a service that is both meaningful and personal.
