Pastoral Care
Funerals
When there has been a death, the church stands with the family — through the service, the burial and afterwards.
In the first hours
Call us. We will take it from there.
A death brings decisions nobody wants to make while grieving. The pastoral team helps a family carry them — the service, the order of proceedings, the practicalities, and the pastoral care around it all.
Northmead conducts funeral and memorial services for members and their families, and will walk with the household through the days of mourning and beyond.
Afterwards
Grief does not end with the burial. The pastoral team, cell groups and ministry leaders continue to visit and check on bereaved families in the weeks and months that follow.

Telephone the church office at any point. You do not need to have everything decided before you call.
