Funerals & Bereavement support

 

Funerals:

Our funeral ministry is an important way that we support our local community.

Our clergy team will help you plan and conduct a sensitive and appropriate funeral service for your family and loved one and are able to use either of our church buildings (St Edwards Church, Eggbuckland or Christ Church, Estover) or in local crematoria or cemeteries.

St Edward’s also has a special Churchyard that is still able to accept burials and interment for anyone who lives in the parish.

How to book a funeral or burial

If you would like more details about funerals services, fees or the churchyard please complete an enquiry form or contact the vicar, Rev Tatiana Wilson contact@fordervalley.org or call 01752 773422 and leave a message.

Forget-me-not Teas:
