Funerals and Bereavement care
‘We surround you with our love and with our prayers..’
These beautiful and poignant words are often spoken by the minister as we all gather around a departed loved one and commend them to God and his eternal love and care.
They are also words that are important to us at St Andrew’s as we walk with you at this sad time of loss. We feel very privileged to be welcomed into your lives and especially as we help in creating the right kind of service through which to remember and give thanks for your loved one.
All funerals are personal and reflect the life of a unique individual. Your loved one may have left instructions as to the details of the service and this will be an invaluable framework as we plan the service with you.
If not, then we will work with you to create the right kind of service.
Whether you hold the service in church with committal elsewhere afterward or wholly at a local crematorium, we will remember God’s presence with us and God’s love for each one of us. The hymns, readings, and prayers that are chosen will remind us of God’s care and also the hope of eternal life through the death and resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ.
