Not everyone knows that they have the right to a funeral in their parish church, even if they and the dead person have not been church-goers. Nor do practising Christians always realise that they can have a Communion service as part of the funeral.

To arrange for one of our Ministry team to conduct a funeral service, please call the Rector, Revd Tim Horsington (01635 253991) before fixing the date and time of any burial arrangements, so as to make sure he or one of our team can be available.

Tim can also advise on arrangements for burial or cremation, and an important part of our pastoral role is to comfort and support those who have lost a loved one, regardless of whether they or the deceased person has had any involvement with the church.
