When someone dies there is so much to do and so many things to think about - and at a time when we may be unable to get to grips with everything or when things seem so difficult and trying. But there are lots of people to help you and to assist you in making all the arrangements that need to be made.
The priest will contact you to arrange to meet with you at a convenient time. He may arrange to meet you at home or at the Vicarage. You may also want other members of your family to be present.
The priest will want to offer you prayerful support and assurance. Your departed loved one will be remembered in the prayers at the Eucharist, and we will also be praying for you.
The priest will also discuss the Funeral Service with you: he is there to help you to choose appropriate hymns, and also to talk with you about the person who has died, so that their life can be reflected in the homily. Sometimes, a member of the family may want to speak in remembrance of the person who has died and the priest can offer helpful advice with this.
Please be assured that we are here to help and offer whatever support we can.
