Funerals in St. Nicholas' Church
|
Contrary to what
some people think, you don't need to be a churchgoer to have a funeral
service in St Nicholas' Church. We allow families to have a
collection in church for a charity of their choice. It is possible to have
suitable music played in church from a CD as well as live on the organ.

These days many people are planning their own funeral
arrangements, including the funeral service, in advance. Members of the
clergy and Funeral Directors can help with this. They would advise on such
details as music and the type of service, whether in Church or at the
Crematorium.

They could also help in the decision between burial or cremation followed by burial of the ashes. It is
possible to bury loose ashes (not in a casket) in the Garden of Remembrance
on the south side of St Nicholas' Church, Read

Following the
funeral bereaved people may on request meet with a member of our parish
'Bereavement Support team'. These are not counsellors, but have had
listening skills training and Criminal Records Bureau clearance. There is a
lot of information available on the Internet about funerals, and what to do
after a death.
