Funerals

A funeral is used to mark the end of a person's life here on earth. Family and friends come together to express grief, give thanks for the life lived and commend the person into God's keeping. These can be a small, quiet ceremony or a large occasion in a packed church.

Everyone is entitled to either a burial service (funeral) or to have their ashes buried in their local parish churchyard by their local parish priest regardless of whether they attended church or not. Since All Saints' churchyard is closed, burials take place in the adjoining cemetery. Services are also conducted at the local crematorium.

If this is all new to you and you do not know where to start, the Church of England Funerals website contains lots of helpful information.

Please contact Revd. Nick Weldon on 01865 391962/ vicar@allsaintsmarcham.org
or the church office on 01865 391202 / info@allsaintsmarcham.org
if you'd like to make an enquiry about a funeral.

A note for Funeral Directors

For enquiries about funerals, please contact the church office or the Rev. Nick Weldon and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Fees for funerals are set by the Church of England and are adjusted in January each year. The latest fees can be found here:

There are some other local charges if you require other services:

  • We ask an for an extra £50 for heating between 1st October and the 31st March (or if needed).
  • If you wish to use our church organist and they are available, there is a charge of £70
  • If you require audio-visual support (more than a simple microphone) there is an AV charge of £70.
  • We can sometimes offer a live-streaming service for family and friends who cannot attend in person. This is an additional £30 on top of the AV charge (£100 total) and is dependent upon a volunteer being available to run the system.
