HELP AND ADVICE FOR FUNERALS
The death of a loved one is always a sad occasion for any family and arranging a funeral service can be very demanding and involved. There are lots of things to think about and organise and we may well find ourselves doing this for the first time and without much guidance.
Here at St. Giles we offer a special ministry to those of you who are needing to arrange a funeral. Below you will find some helpful information.
| St. Giles Church is available to you if you would like
to have a service either before your visit to the
Crematorium or, indeed, afterwards. The advantage of having a service in the Church is that you will undoubtedly have more time in which to celebrate, remember and give thanks for the life of your loved one than is typically afforded at a Crematorium. Our Organists are very accomplished and experienced in playing a wide range of music and we have a music system in the Church which will allow you to hear any particular or personal tracks on a CD |

Every funeral service will be supervised by the services of our Parish Verger, thus ensuring that your mourners will be warmly welcomed, looked after and seated.
You will find on the front page of this website in the Downloads section a link to 'Guidance for Funerals' document that sets out suggested Order of Service.
You are welcome to print this off and bring it to your meeting with a member of the Clergy
