Funerals
Funeral ceremonies conducted by clergy from Saint Christopher's Cathedral Church are both a celebration of a life and a dignified, distinctive farewell. They’re the perfect option for families who want a sincere, personal reflection on the life of their loved one.
Funerals (for a single time slot at a crematorium) £180 – £300. Longer, more complex ceremonies or memorial services may be more.
Christenings/Naming Ceremonies
A naming ceremony is a way of celebrating and welcoming a new addition to your family. It focuses on the child – or children – being named and the friends and family that surround them.
People choose to have a naming ceremony because they want to bring family and friends together to celebrate one of life’s key milestones.
A naming ceremony also provides the opportunity for those gathered to reflect the roles that key people will play in the life of the child.
Naming ceremonies are perfect for newborns or toddlers and many are combined with a first birthday celebration. But they don’t have to be limited to young children. They can be held whenever you’re ready: there’s no rush!
For older children they can be seen or used as a rite of passage or a celebration of your child’s growing maturity. They can also be the perfect way to welcome adopted children or step-children of any age into a family.
Naming Ceremonies range from £150 to £450
