The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases… his mercies are new every morning; great is his faithfulness.
God of love,
Surround all those I love,
who I can no longer see.
Be light in my darkness,
be hope in my fear,
be love in every moment,
and give me grace to face each day ahead.
Amen
Planning a service
There are many ways to make a service personal to your loved one. The Church of England has some useful resources here.
Light a candle
Even if you can’t go into church, you can still take time to say a prayer and light a virtual candle for your loved one here.
Refreshments
St Lawrence is well set up to host after service refreshment for funeral services. There are some good local caterers who are happy to provide the food. Please do discuss this with the priest if it is something that would be useful for you, and we can provide you with all the relevant details.
