If someone you know and love has died, a funeral led by a Church of England minister can be held in church, in a churchyard, by a graveside, or at a crematorium.

A funeral can include unique details, whether that is what people wear, the music that is played, readings that are chosen or simply a photograph at the front. The prayers at a funeral can also reflect a unique life. They could include prayers for work or a hobby that has been important, for those who have cared during a final illness and for family members by name. They can be led by the vicar or by someone amongst family or friends who is at ease leading prayers in public.

Talk to the Reverend Eileen Reid, the vicar, about the person you want to give thanks for and the life you want to celebrate. She will help you work out what is possible.  Contact her by e-mail on contact@warnellparishes.org.uk
