Even those who share such faith find that there is a real sense of loss at the death of a loved one. We will each have had our own experiences of their life and death, with different memories and different feelings of love, grief and respect. A funeral service helps to express our faith and our feelings as we say farewell, to acknowledge our loss and our sorrow, and to reflect on our own mortality.

Those who mourn need support and consolation, and the St Clement clergy are available to take funerals in church or at the crematorium and to help plan funeral services and provide continuing support.
