Help in coping with grief:

Planning your own funeral


Death and funerals are important parts of life.  

Funerals are always difficult for the immediate family - and very often for others too.  At Ordsall church we try to approach them as carefully and as sensitively as possible.

If you need to arrange a funeral the starting point is generally to choose a Funeral Director (almost all firms have someone on call 24 hours a day).  

If you wish to approach the church before talking to the Funeral Director please  telephone Lavinia Swannack on 01777 704116

A Prayer for someone who has recently died:
 

Into God's great protection 

we commit you.

To God's wide compassion

we commend you.

In God's eternal love

we place you.

There may you find

peace beyond understanding,

the end of all pain,

sweet untroubled rest, 

and love without end.  Amen.


Coping with grief can be a dreadful and a lonely experience.  We offer a monthly memorial service which is designed to help.  But we recognize that this is only a drop in the ocean.
