Funerals
|
A funeral marks the close of a human life on earth. It is the opportunity for friends and family to express their grief, to give thanks for the life which has now completed its journey in this world and to commend the person into God's keeping. A funeral service in the Church of England - whether in a parish church or a crematorium chapel - may be very short and quiet with only a few members of the family present, or an occasion of great solemnity with music, hymns and a packed church.
A funeral may also be set within Whatever the pattern of service, the words and actions all speak of a loving God and the preciousness to Him of every human being. To enquire about arranging a funeral please contact the Rector by telephone on 0161 432 1844, if the Rector is unavailable please contact the Curate, Caroline on 0161 445 8874. |
