Funerals

The sacred space of St Peter’s offers a place of beauty and tranquillity for funeral ceremonies in the presence of God.

A funeral at St Peter’s offers a time to give thanks for a life, to pray for those whom we love but see no longer, and to pray for ourselves as we seek God’s comfort.

If you have been recently bereaved

If you have been recently bereaved and would like to arrange a funeral at St Peter’s or would like a priest from St Peter’s to conduct a funeral service for you at a local crematorium or cemetery, please contact Fr Stuart or the church office and we will do all that we can to support you at this difficult time.

There is a useful guide to funeral services on the Church of England website. It is sensitively written and addresses some common questions.
