Funerals

Arranging a Funeral

If you need to arrange a Catholic funeral for a loved one who has died, please call us on 01243 782343, to speak to one of the clergy, or to Amy at the Parish Office.
​We offer our condolences for your loss.
Preparing a Catholic Funeral leaflet
This leaflet may be of help to people who have the responsibility of arranging for the funeral of a family member or friend.
Preparing a Catholic Funeral
 It indicates the purpose and nature of a Catholic funeral and offers simple guidance to family and friends before they meet with those who will prepare the funeral liturgy with them. ​

Preparing for your own Funeral

If you are thinking about your own funeral and would like to make your wishes known in advance, the 'Preparing for my Funeral' form may be helpful to you. 
Preparing for my Funeral
If you would like the parish to hold a copy of the completed form, please send it to the Parish Office.
The souls of the virtuous are in the hands of God, no torment shall ever touch them.
In the eyes of the unwise, they did appear to die, their going looked like a disaster, their leaving us, like annihilation;
but they are in peace. (Wisdom 3:1-2)

We look to develop the Catholic faith of the community of Our Lady and the Saints of Sussex, ​to proclaim the Good News and to embrace all who seek the Lord.
