Funerals at St Michael and All Angels
A funeral is used to mark the end of a person’s life here on earth. Family and friends come together to express grief, give thanks for the life lived and commend the person into God’s keeping. This can be a small, quiet ceremony or a large occasion. The service may include music, hymns, prayers, poems, readings and tributes from family and close friends.
Who can have their funeral at St Michael and All Angels?
A funeral at St Michael and All Angels is available for everyone. The person who died need not be a churchgoer or a member of the Church of England to have this type of Christian funeral service, and neither does the person arranging the funeral.
What to do
Following a loved one’s death, the first thing you have to do is contact a funeral director. When you go to see them let them know that you would like the funeral to be held at St Michael’s. They will then contact us to confirm a date and time. One of the Ministers will then contact you to arrange to come and see you and help you plan the service.
