Bereavement and Funerals
Bereavement is something we all have to experience at some time. If we take the risk of loving another person, then one day we will know the pain of being parted from them.
Our experience of loss is personal to each one of us. Different people face it in different ways. Sometimes there is deep sadness, sometimes relief that a time of suffering has come to an end, sometimes there is the quiet recognition that a life has run its course and reached its close. Often these feelings are all there in a muddled up way. There are no right or wrong feelings. However, there is support for those who find it hard to cope.
Having a ceremony to mark a person’s life and their passing can be very important in helping us to accept our loss. We have contact with a variety of ordained and non ordained celebrants who are very experienced in working with loved ones to craft meaningful ceremonies to mark the ending of life, and would be glad to work with you if they are able. In the first instance please contact us on cornerstoneurcsec@gmail.com.
Leaving notes about how you want your funeral to be conducted can be of great help and comfort to people bereaved. If you would like to make your wishes about your funeral known to your friends, family and the Church, this form may be of help: Funeral Planner Form
