Funerals

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.  These can be a small, quiet ceremony or a large occasion in a church.

Everyone is entitled to either a burial service (funeral) or to have their ashes buried in their local parish churchyard by their local parish priest regardless of whether they attended church or not.

Some people find planning the funeral with family and friends helps in their grieving.  Perhaps you already know something of what your loved one wanted.  You may even have planned the service together some time ago.

If you are uncertain, the minister who will lead the service can help you choose suitable readings, hymns and prayers.

Emmanuel Funeral Services are still at your service 24/7.
