Funerals and Memorial Services

Please contact us whenever you need to. The clergy of the parish are skilled and experienced in helping families to deal with the trauma of death and loss, and at St Paul’s, with our considerable musical and liturgical resources, we can help you to arrange an appropriate service – whether that is a funeral or a memorial or thanksgiving.

But please also remember that we can help before the point of death too – and rather than being summoned after the event, much prefer to be called during times of serious illness when spiritual questions and anxieties can become particularly prominent in patients and their families. A ‘good death’ is what we all want for ourselves and our loved ones, and often the thoughtful, prayerful company of a priest can help to guide people through challenging and uncharted waters as their life, or the life of their loved-one, draws to a close.
