Funerals

Funeral or Memorial Service Guidelines of The Book of Common Prayer

The funeral or memorial service follows the guidelines of The Book of Common Prayer. Family members and friends are invited to take part in the service by reading lessons and the prayers. One or two remembrances by family members or friends may be offered. A homily or sermon, which emphasizes the comfort of our faith, may also be preached. It should be remembered that the funeral service is a public statement of the Christian faith and hope in the Resurrection.

​

Floral Arrangements

Floral arrangements for a funeral or memorial service should not be more elaborate than on a normal Sunday. The coffin is sealed before it is brought into the church. During the funeral, the coffin is covered with the pall. Floral arrangements sent to the family by friends will be placed at the baptismal font or by the main doors of the church.

​

Reception Following A Service

Many families wish to have a reception after the funeral to greet friends. The church is happy to provide space for this in the Parish House.
