What is it?
A funeral service is an important point in the grieving process. It is a moment to celebrate and remember a person’s life, mourn their loss with others and for some it is the moment the reality of that loss hits.
This session will be led by Anne Richards and Jo King. Anne and Jo both have a lot of experience in taking funeral services. This session will help you think about how you plan, shape and lead funeral services. It will cover the practicalities you need to know as well as important conversations around how you include the family, tailor a service to the needs of the community and how to include God in a helpful way. There will also be space to consider cremations and the burial of ashes.
Who is it for?
This session is aimed about people who are exploring a ministry in bereavement and those who are already engaged in this ministry to reflect on and refresh your ministry.
This is a core training session for those on the Bereavement ministry Pathway (Taking Funerals stream). For more details click here.

Car sharing
We really encourage car sharing both for the environment and because we are aware not everyone has easy access to a car or public transport. There are a couple of questions in the booking form for those that would like to offer and/or receive lifts so we can connect people who are close to one another. Please note it asks for the first 3 or 4 letters of your postcode (e.g. CV6, CV12) so we can put you in touch with relevant people.
