Funerals

A funeral service acknowledges grief, thanks your loved one, offers a last farewell, and provides a message of hope in life after death.

Funerals in the Anglican Church

An Anglican Church funeral offers a safe, caring rite to acknowledge your loss and celebrate all that was special and unique about your loved one.

The service can be held at a place you choose and include special details in the music, prayers, and readings. This rite aims to acknowledge the wounds of grief and help us become “captives to hope.”

Your local church is here for you as long as you need—whether you seek a place to pray, talk, or just be quiet. Please talk with your local parish priest to arrange the funeral service. For immediate support, contact Lifeline on 13 11 14.
