Arrangements for Funerals are normally made through the Funeral Directors.

Before finalising any arrangements for a service in any of our Churches, please speak with the vicar at the very earliest opportunity, as it can be difficult and distressing for the family to have to make alterations to notices at a later stage.

There are rules governing the nature and style of headstones and memorials in Burial Grounds. A copy of which can be found here. If the Memorial complies in all respects with that detailed in the guidance then application can be made to the Vicar. This is usually done via the Monumental Mason engaged to complete the work.

If the proposed Memorial falls outside the description given, then application may be made directly to the Vicar General. Please note, that the Vicar is not permitted to authorise Memorials that fall outside the authority delegated by the Vicar General or the specific Burial Ground rules.

If you wish to discuss any matters in relation to Memorials, then please contact the Vicar who will be pleased to discuss these matters with you. It is strongly suggested that any such discussions take place before any contract is taken out with a Monumental Mason, as confusion can lead to lengthy delay, increased costs and distress to bereaved family members.
