Baptism, Marriage, and Funerals all mark crossroads or milestones in our lives and in the lives of those closest to us, our family and friends. They are important events in the life of the parish family too, marking as they do turning points on our journey in the Christian faith.
If the deceased lived in this parish, or was on our church electoral roll, then they are entitled to a funeral in the church and burial in the cemetery.
