Funerals at St James The Great

Our church has been supporting the bereaved and honouring the departed for centuries.  We will do everything we can to provide a fitting and respectful service with all appropriate burial rites.   

The funeral service will reflect the personality of the person who has died and the circumstances of their death. Feelings of grief, gratitude, joy and sadness can often intermingle. The form of the service will be agreed with the Rector, the Revd. Colin Wilson, and you will be able to discuss your choice of hymns, music and readings. There may also be tributes given by the family, and there will be a short address/sermon remembering the life and work of the person who has died, and the Christian belief about life beyond death.
