If you suffer bereavement, then you will need to liaise with the priest and your chosen undertaker.

There are many elements to organising a funeral and the first step will involve a mutually agreed time between the family, the priest, the undertaker and the place of burial.

The priest will then wish to meet with family members to plan a suitable service.

The Art of dying well: is a new website that offers help to those grappling with issues around death and dying. Based in the Catholic tradition but open to all, it features real-life stories about dealing with the journey through death to eternal life.
