Funerals

When experiencing bereavement, many people look to the Church's ministry for comfort and reassurance.

The Funeral

Ministers from the church are privileged to be asked to conduct funeral services for those who live in the parish or who have a connection with it. Funeral services may take place in any of our churches or in the Chapel at the Local Authority Crematorium and Cemetery.

When someone dies it is usual to make the funeral arrangements through a local Funeral Director who will then, after a meeting with the family, contact the Parish office to confirm the minister and date of the service.

Memorial Service
From time to time we are also asked to take Memorial Services (for example, when someone local has died elsewhere and people have been unable to attend the funeral). In this instance, it is more usual and convenient for relatives to contact the parish clergy directly.

All Souls Service

A service is held each year in at St Clement Fiskerton (near the beginning of November) which gives us the opportunity to remember those who have died, and anyone would be very welcome to attend.

Details are published nearer the time.
