The death of a loved one, a family member or friend, often brings with it a deep sense of loss, pain or shock. Grief is unpredictable and there are few words that help immediately.
A funeral can express a range of thoughts and feelings through readings, prayers and music that offer a chance to say farewell and a glimpse of hope in God’s promises.
Your Funeral Director will assist in you with the preparations and liaise with others about the arrangements. A Vicar will want to meet with you quite soon to help you prepare for the service.
You may also want to consider some pastoral care or bereavement support at some stage after the service has taken place.
