Arrange a Funeral
Arranging a funeral for a loved one is a very difficult time in our lives. There are lots of things to think about and arrange, and our aim (along with your funeral director) is to help make this as smooth as possible.
To arrange a Catholic funeral service at St Michael’s or St Bernadette’s, please contact the Parish Office as soon as possible.
Funeral Guide
The Liturgy Office of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales has prepared a funeral guide that offers clear, compassionate guidance on what to do when someone dies, how Catholic funeral rites unfold, and how our parish can support you through prayer, preparation, and pastoral care.
Whether you’re planning ahead or arranging a funeral for a loved one, we hope this resource helps you feel supported, informed, and gently accompanied by the Church’s care.
