WEDDINGS

Marriage is the moment when we promise ourselves completely and exclusively to one other person for the rest of our lives. The marriage service is a beautiful, special and holy one, in which the bride and groom make promises to each other, and so become husband and wife. 

The Church of England’s wedding website is packed with useful information: https://www.yourchurchwedding.org/

CHRISTENINGS (also known as Baptism)

During a christening your child will be baptized with water. It’s the start of an amazing journey of faith for your child and a special day for all your friends and family. 

It’s also not just for children, adults can be Baptised too! 

Follow the links to find answers to your questions and to explore all that a christening means, not just on the day but long afterwards. https://churchofenglandchristenings.org/

FUNERALS

A funeral is used to mark the end of a person's life here on earth. Family and friends come together to express grief, give thanks for the life lived and commend the person into God's keeping. These can be a small, quiet ceremony or a large occasion in a packed church.

Everyone is entitled to either a burial service (funeral) or to have their ashes buried in their local parish churchyard by their local parish priest regardless of whether they attended church or not. https://churchofenglandfunerals.org/
