Funerals
A funeral is a very important event for any family. It provides a vital stage in the grieving process, it is a chance to say goodbye to the person you love, and is also an opportunity to reflect on the life of the person who has died.
We are here to help you through the process of organising either a funeral or a memorial service and will try to help you through difficult times. We are here to offer help and support, practical advice and pastoral care for you and your family.
HOLY BOND OF UNITY
Funeral Support
We in the Parish of Christ The King want to do everything we can to help you through this difficult and sometimes painful time.
The information on this page is a guide to making arrangements for a funeral in our parish.
We also have a Parish Bereavement Group, who will not only pray for you but are ready to help in any way on the day of the funeral and afterwards.
I hope, that in making your funeral arrangements, the following information might be of help.

Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.
