Death is one of the hardest things we have to  face as human beings. At Christ Church we aim to do all we can to  support people through this difficult time. Our clergy are available to talk  and pray with you and the church is open during the day if you would like to spend time alone in quiet.

If you want to arrange a funeral at Christ Church or to ask for a  particular member of the clergy to conduct a funeral at the crematorium, then  it is usual to appoint a funeral director and ask them to liaise  with us on dates and times.

Once the  funeral has been arranged, one of the clergy will visit you at a time which  suits you, to plan the funeral and to talk with you about the person who has  died.

Each year in early November we hold a Memorial Service at Christ Church when we remember by name those who have died in the past year. Please  contact one of the clergy if you would like more information about this  service.

We have occasional Funeral Planning Days, when different professionals help people to understand the options around funerals and burials.
