Arranging a Christian funeral

Funerals are all different; simple or traditional, religious or not. We'll guide you through your options and the costs, helping you arrange a funeral fitting for both the person who has died, and for those who are left behind.

Christian funerals are bespoke services, tailored to meet the needs of the Christian faith. Christians believe that when someone passes away, it is the end of their life on Earth, beliefs on what happens next will differ by denomination.
Family and close friends gather at Christian funerals to mourn but also to celebrate the life of the person who has passed away. Each Christian denomination will have different customs and rituals on how and where a Christian funeral will be held.

Christian funeral services serve the same purpose: to pray for the soul of the deceased and offer comfort and support to the bereaved. The typical Christian funeral includes:
  • An opening statement lead by the priest or minister. Depending on the religion, the service may open with a prayer, a statement that shows support to the bereaved, or a combination of both.
  • Prayers and hymns are read and sung throughout the funeral. Guests are often encouraged to read or sing along at appropriate times.
  • Scripture readings are a common part of most services. Similar to prayer and hymns, the specific readings and their placement in the ceremony differ by religion.
  • A remembrance given by a close friend or family member honours the life and gifts of the deceased.
  • The service ends with closing words given by the minister. He states that the service is over and leads the procession to the cemetery.
  • Graveside services also differ by religion, but all services have some form of words of committal in which the minister either reads a prayer, praises Jesus and prays for the soul of the deceased.
Christian funeral services focus mainly on the deceased’s entry into Heaven and God’s ability to give the grieving strength to cope with their recent loss.
