‘Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted.’
As a Parish we wish to offer our help to those who through bereavement are in need of pastoral care and help in organising a funeral. Unfortunately due to restrictions on space, only those who are parishioners are able to be buried in our church graveyard.
We can help you organise a Funeral Service of Thanksgiving for your loved one, providing the Church as a venue, offering catering afterwards and helping you find an Funeral Director and make subsequent arrangements for the burial/cremation of your loved one.
