Funerals

If you are enquiring here because of family bereavement, we understand that this will be a difficult time for you and your family. Conducting Funerals and offering care for bereaved people are very important to us at All Saints’ Appley Bridge. If we can help, please get in touch. Email mailto:contact@allsaintschurch.co.uk or telephone our Parish Priest, the Rev Sue Timmins on 01257 462350.

We are able to offer care, support and sympathy to families  through this difficult time of losing someone close to them.

God’s love and power extends over all creation. Every life is precious to God. Christians have always believed that there is hope in death as in life, and that there is new life in Christ.

You may like to know that people are entitled to a funeral service in church regardless of whether they or their family attended church or not. Ministers works closely with the funeral director to ensure that the wishes of the family are taken into account, and that the funeral service is a suitable one which reflects the life of the deceased as a unique individual.

Ashes can be interred in the church garden of remembrance at All Saints’ Church if the deceased was from Appley Bridge or had a link with the village.
