Funerals
A funeral is a very special service. It is the time to say goodbye to a loved one and to give thanks to God for their lives.
Our Minister will conduct funerals for people who live in the local area and for church members. Services can be conducted in church, at the graveside or in a crematorium.
The usual procedure when organizing a funeral is to engage a Funeral Director they should then contact the Minister to agree a date and time.
The Minister will then contact the deceased family to discuss the life of the person who has died and the type of funeral that might be appropriate.
Some people like to think in advance what there funeral might be like. If you would like some help with this we have produced a handy leaflet "It's your funeral".
If you want to think about the shape of a funeral service for a loved once - here is an easy guide
If you are putting together a printed Order of Service to be distributed to the congregation here is our guide.
A fully scripted traditional funeral service from The Methodist Worship Book can be found here.
If in doubt, please talk to the minister. That is why we are here!
