When someone dies the people of the Methodist Church are there to support the bereaved.

Usually you will contact the Funeral Director in the first instance. However, Methodist Ministers will always be there for you if you need them.

If you want a particular Minister to conduct the funeral service you should tell the funeral director. Alternatively you may feel that you would like the Methodist Funeral Rite but don't know who to ask to do it. All you need do is ask the funeral director to contact a Methodist Minister.

The Minister will them come to your home to discuss the service you want, to say goodbye to a loved one and to celebrate their life.

There are various options:

· A service in a Methodist Church followed by committal at a cemetery or crematorium
· A committal at either the cemetery or the crematorium followed by a service of thanksgiving in a Methodist Church
· A service and committal at the Crematorium

If you want any more information please contact one of the Ministers (see link to Ministers)
