Funerals,

Memorial and Thanksgiving Services

If you would like to discuss a funeral for a loved one either in church or at the crematorium please contact either the parish office at office@holytrinitybramley.org.uk or the Vicar William Davie at william.davie18@btinternet.com.

We are happy to conduct funerals for all who live in the parish or who have had a connection with it in the past. We are also happy to host services of memorial or thanksgiving, either immediately following a cremation or perhaps at a later date, such as on the anniversary of the persons death. This might be also be appropriate if the funeral has had to take place somewhere else for any reason, but you would like a chance to say goodbye in Bramley

The Vicar and the funeral directors can work with you to craft a service that is a fitting memorial for the person in question. This can include choosing appropriate music for entry, exit and time of reflection and any poems or pieces of literature that you might want to include. A funeral also usually involves a eulogy of some sort which can either be given by a family member or the vicar.

Choosing to have your funeral conducted by a Vicar whether in a church or at the crematorium means there will be a degree of religious content. This is not only a matter of faith, but a matter of legality as clergy are not allowed to conduct non-religious services. Therefore Holy Trinity cannot offer a completely non-religious funeral or service of thanksgiving.
