A funeral is an occasion both of sadness and celebration: sadness at parting, but also – very importantly - celebration of a person’s life, and of the hope we have as Christians in the promise of life eternal.

​

The modern Church of England funeral service seeks to allow for both of these things – giving dignity to the grief we have a need to express, but also allowing family and friends the opportunity for celebration, in a way that is very personal to the one who has died.

​

Whether or not you or the loved one who has died has been a regular churchgoer, you’ll find the clergy very sympathetic, and willing to help in putting together a service appropriate to your needs, at church or crematorium.

​

So, please, if you are looking to make funeral arrangements in the district of St John in the Wilderness, do not be afraid to make contact, or ask your funeral director for details.
