Funerals

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."

 

Here at St Philip & St James we offer a Christian funeral service to anyone who wants one.

 

If you are unable to attend a funeral which is still happening with others attending

  • Download a simple service to say at home if you are unable to attend a funeral here.

  • Why not take a few moments to think, write, or draw some of your memories of the person? Later you may be able to share that with others at a special memorial service.

  • You can still pray at home –see here for some ideas.

  • You could also read a poem or look at Psalm 23.

  • You can light a candle online by following this link.

  • You could write a card to others who are missing the person you are grieving.

  • Remember that when this crisis is over [and it will pass] there will always be services for remembering organised by the church and anyone can go to these services.

  • It may be possible to follow a copy of the order of service that the family have prepared or to watch the service via a livestream (many funeral venues are offering the latter).

  • It may also be possible for the local church to help you organise a formal or informal service to remember afterwards.

If you were unable to say goodbye
