FuneralServicePlanning.pdfRemember the Church and her traditions are there to help a family through a time of loss and sadness and to reflect the life and memory of the deceased. Therefore, our traditions can be flexible to reflect the character of the deceased and how loved ones would like to celebrate the life of those who have died. Please discuss these issues with our Parish Priest beforehand.
We recommend you read the Introduction to the Funeral Liturgy in the Book of Alternative Services (BAS) on pages 565-569 and that you review and familiarize yourself with the Funeral Liturgies in the BAS on pages 570-605. There is also provision for the funeral liturgy from The Order for the Burial of the Dead from the Book of Common Prayer. Please see the Clergy for details regarding the Book of Common Prayer Rites.
