■ Funeral & Memorial Services

Funeral and Memorial services are usually arranged by your Funeral Director.

If you haven't already done so, they will contact us on your behalf to arrange for a member of the clergy to conduct the service.

If requested, they will also book the Church if the service (whether a burial or a cremation) is to be held here at St. Mary Magdalene rather than at the crematorium in either Brighton, Worthing or Worth (Crawley).

​​​​​Currently, funerals may only take place at a crematorium or graveside with immediate family members attending. We recognise how difficult this will be for many and encourage you to discuss the possibility of a memorial service in church at a later date when more people can be present.

We will then get in touch with you to arrange a pastoral visit and help you decide the details and content of the service (for example your choice of hymns and readings) so that it reflects a worthy and apt thanksgiving for the life of your loved one.

The days after a funeral can be as tough as the ones before. Our clergy and pastoral team are available to talk with anyone who wishes too. Even if we didn’t take the funeral of your loved one, we would be pleased to offer you pastoral care.
