Funerals
Christians believe that the end of this life on earth is the beginning of a glorious new life in Christ. Anglican funerals try to balance the grief of the living with a celebration of the life of the deceased, and faith in the hope of the resurrection.
If your loved one is approaching death or has died, our parish priest would be honoured to walk with you and support you in this difficult time.
We offer various forms of service from the prayer books of the church. These services offer different opportunities for family and friends to participate.
The priest and family together arrange the service structure, readings, music, readers, prayer leaders and other appropriate ways to remember the departed. The priest will work closely with the Funeral Home or Transition Service in the preparation of the funeral.
The prayer books assume the presence of the body or cremated remains at the funeral. Services may be held also at the graveside, in a funeral home or in a crematorium in addition to or instead of the service in the church. A memorial service may also be requested.
