A funeral is used to mark the end of a person's life here on earth. Family and friends come together to express grief, give thanks for the life lived and commend the person into God's keeping. These can be a small, quiet ceremony or a large occasion in a packed church.
The Church of England website contains information on planning a funeral and the funeral service. Plus a selection of comforting psalms and prayers.
If you would like any further information or have any questions please contact Mrs Penny Rennie on 01603 424652 or email penny@sprowston.org.uk
