When a loved one dies the clergy of the Ministry Team will want to give you as much help as possible to see you through this difficult time. There are a lot of things to think about in preparing a funeral and the clergy and the funeral directors will be on hand to guide you through all the decisions that need to be made. 

Some people following a death first get in touch with a funeral director. Others first get in touch with the clergy. Whichever way you choose, you can have confidence that the funeral director and the church will work very closely with you to arrange and carry out the funeral. 

If you would prefer to talk to us first, please contact one of our Ministry Team (details on the "Ministry Team" and "Contact Us" pages).
