Funerals

Funerals, Cremations and Burials

A more sombre part of our services to the community but no less important, our Church is
available to parishioners and non-parishioners for funeral services and services to celebrate
the life of a loved one. You would normally contact a Funeral Director to arrange this,
mentioning our Church as part of the arrangements. The Rector is also available to conduct
such services at Crematorium Chapels or in your home.

Forest Church has an extensive Church Yard available for Burials or Burial of Ashes after Cremation.
It is the usual practice in this part of the world to arrange Burial either at your
local Parish Church (if it has a Grave Yard) or at a Local Authority Burial Ground.

We are only able to offer a new grave at Forest Church to those who are members of our
Church (or their partner or spouse) or those who live in our Church Parish, or those who
actually die within our Church Parish.

We are able to offer a Cremation Plot for Burial of Ashes after Cremation to any family
who apply, regardless of residential qualification.

Further Burials in existing family graves may be possible, after consultation with other
family members, the Rector and the Funeral Director involved.

Requiems are arranged directly with the Rector unless the Funeral Service itself is a Requiem,
in which case please advise the Funeral Director of this when booking the Funeral.
