Faith and religion can play a tremendous role in both our lives and the life of our dearly departed. If the deceased was a member of a particular church or faith, they frequently wish for their funeral service to be conducted by a religious minister in accordance with their faith.
In the case that the religious minister or chaplain has not yet contacted your family regarding the funeral ceremony, Sussex Funeral Services will make the necessary arrangements to ensure the appropriate minister or faith leader will be available to help you prepare for and conduct the service.
We will consult with you to help you determine what type of religious service will be most fitting for your loved one, especially in cases where the deceased did not belong to a specific church but still held religious values that you may wish to reflect in the ceremony. We can also help you choose the most appropriate religious leader for the service.
It is becoming more common that an individual’s spiritual journey does not adhere to one particular faith, but encompasses many different aspects of spirituality that may or may not fit within a single religion. Nevertheless, their spiritual lives may remain an essential component of their selfhood, and they may wish to have that spiritual component represented in their funeral ceremony. In tthese cases Sussex Funeral Services can help you create a meaningful service comprised of many different elements in accordance to your wishes – such as secular readings, poetry, and music that are personal to the deceased, as well as aspects of more traditional religious funerals.
Regardless of your wishes, independent funeral director and undertaker Philip Evans will help you decide which service is best for you and your family.
