Funerals

If you have recently lost a loved one, please get in touch. We will help you in any way, including with our prayers.

A Church of England funeral is available for everyone, and the Church can give support before, during and after the service, for as long as it is needed. You’ll find some helpful advice here.

It is our normal custom not to organise thanksgiving services until some months after the funeral has taken place. This is because a thanksgiving service for the life of someone who has died has an important but somewhat different function to a funeral.

If your loved one had a worshipping and spiritual connection with the Cathedral, please contact us to discuss your arrangements.

For further information contact the Vicar of the Close, Rev’d Canon Nigel Davies, here.
