Funerals

Funerals and bereavement support are vital, ongoing elements of parish ministry for many churches, whether in rural communities or busy town centres. 

It’s so important that the Archbishops’ Council commissioned independent research with families who have had a Church of England-led funeral. 

Read more about this research and how churches might respond by visiting the Church of England’s Church Support Hub. There are ideas, downloads, articles, webinars and information to help you.
