We are here to support bereaved families to arrange a funeral service or burial of ashes for your departed loved one.

If you would like to hold a funeral in St. Guthlac’s Church, these are arranged through a Funeral Director who will organise a convenient date for this to take place. Following this, the minister taking the service will be in touch with your directly to discuss and plan the details of the service with you to mark your loved one’s life.

Immediately following a funeral service at the Church, we go to Market Deeping cemetery for the burial or to one of the local crematoriums, which again you will have arranged in advance with the Funeral Director.

We are also available to say some appropriate words and prayers at a burial of ashes of your loved one, which again is best arranged through a Funeral Director.

We understand this is a difficult time for many and we seek to sensitively support you through this and offer an appropriate and fitting service for your loved one.

In Church we also have a memorial book as a way to commemorate our dear departed loved ones.  We include their name underneath the date they passed away.  This book of remembrance is on display in the Church throughout the year & you are welcome to visit the Church & view your loved one’s name in the Memorial Book on the day they passed away.  We update this annually - every other year & there is a small fee for this of around £30 as we send the book away to be written in beautifully by a professional calligrapher, before the book is returned to the Church for you to view.  If you would like a loved one who is no longer with us to be remembered in our Memorial Book, please contact us.
