Funerals

A large part of Father Nicholas work involves funerals which include cremation, burial and memorial services. The death of loved ones is always traumatic and Father Nicholas has the experience and expertise to help families and individuals at a difficult time like that.

He will provide the following:

• Advice on a reputable funeral director
• Provide information on crematoria, cemeteries and burial grounds.
• Visit the bereaved family prior to the funeral
• Plan the funeral with the family and prepare an order of service if required.
• Conduct the funeral according to the wishes of the family
• Provide post funeral care if required.

Funerals can be traditional/religious or secular or a mixture of both religion and non-religious content. Each unique ceremony is planned to reflect the life of the deceased. Father Nicholas is happy to conduct funerals according to any Christian Rite if required.

Funerals are normally conducted in Crematoriums or Cemetery Chapels however, Father Nicholas is happy to conduct funeral ceremonies at home, at the seaside or wherever people feel the need to celebrate the life of their loved one. Cremation or burial can follow afterwards. He is also happy to conduct a celebration of life or memorial service after the funeral.

Father Nicholas will bury or scatter ashes with due ceremony for those who require it.
