Organising a funeral

A funeral marks the close of a human life on earth. And when our loved one dies, we all want the opportunity to express our grief and give thanks for their life in this world. A Christian funeral can also enable people to commend their loved one into God’s safekeeping.

A funeral service in the Church of England, whether in a parish church or crematorium chapel, may be very short and quiet with only a few members of family and friends present, or it may be an occasion of great solemnity with music, hymns and a full church.

Whatever the pattern of service, the words and actions all speak of a loving God, and the preciousness to him of every human being.

At a time of the death of a loved one, questions about life and death can be uppermost in our minds. Jesus himself believed in a life-giving God ‘the God of the living, not the dead’. Christians believe that Christ’s resurrection is the triumph of good over evil and of life over death, and has made eternal life available to us.
