Funerals
At All Souls, we are committed to helping you through one of life’s most difficult times.
A Church of England funeral is available to everyone, giving support before, during and after the service for as long as needed.
Your loved one's funeral can be taken by the Vicar in the parish church if they, or you, live in the parish or if there is a natural pastoral connection - for example, that they worshipped or were married here.
If you are arranging a funeral and would like it to take place at our church, or you would like the Vicar to officiate (at the cemetery or crematorium), please make that clear to the funeral directors. They will then contact the Vicar to make arrangements.
If you are thinking about your own funeral and would like to make some arrangements before your death, please contact the Vicar to discuss arrangements.
