A Church of England funeral is available to everyone, giving support before, during and after the service.

How do I do this?
To arrange a funeral is it usual to contact a local funeral director who in turn will contact Monken Hadley church.

A clergy member will then meet with you to discuss your thoughts about the service and how to commemorate the person you are remembering.
At the funeral service, we give thanks to God for the life of the person who has died, we pray for those who are mourning, we entrust the departed person to God’s eternal care, and we give thanks for God’s gift of eternal life.
