Rest in peace and rise in glory
Organising a funeral for a loved one can be an upsetting and stressful process, Monmouth Marches Ministry Area is here to support you through the experience.
If you would like a funeral to be provided with the Church in Wales, please let your funeral director know and they will contact the relevant clergy at the church you wish the service to take place at.
Just as every person is unique, so their funeral should be. The clergy member responsible for the service will talk with you about the life you want to give thanks for and celebrate.
We are here to support you before, during and after the funeral. For more information about the pastoral support we offer, please click here.
The Church in Wales provides some useful guidance about what to do when someone dies, and how to start planning a funeral that looks and feels best for you. Click below to find out more.
Funerals – The Church in Wales
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside still waters;
he restores my soul.
He leads me in right paths
for his name’s sake.
(Psalm 23:1-3)
Want to plan your own funeral?
One of the best ways you can offer your support to family members who live on after you is the gift of planning your own funeral. If this is something you’d like to do, please either contact your local vicar or use our contact form and we will be in touch.
Coming together as family
Would you like to host a gathering following your service? Coming together as family and friends to remember and celebrate the life of the departed can offer a great opportunity for healing.
One of our church halls may be both a suitable and convenient option. Please use our contact form for more details.
