Funerals at Christ Church North Adelaide

When someone dies, families need space to grieve, to give thanks for the person who has died, and to hear again the Christian hope of resurrection. Christ Church offers a sacred and dignified place in which family and friends may gather for prayer, remembrance and farewell.

A Christian Funeral

A Christian funeral entrusts the person who has died to the mercy of God and proclaims the hope given to us through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Our clergy will support you pastorally and help shape a service that is reverent, personal and faithful.

Traditional Church of England Funeral Services

For families seeking a traditional Church of England funeral, Christ Church offers the funeral service found in the Book of Common Prayer. Its familiar words set our grief within the promises of the Gospel and the Christian hope of resurrection.

Planning the Service

The Rector or another priest will meet with the family and work alongside the chosen funeral director. Together we will consider appropriate Bible readings, prayers, music, the eulogy and other suitable personal elements. We will guide you through the decisions that need to be made and help prepare the order of service.

Elements of a funeral service: prayer, hymns, Bible readings, the traditional Prayer Book, eulogies and blessing.

Pastoral Care and Continued Remembrance

Pastoral care does not end with the funeral. Our clergy remain available to families who would value prayer, conversation or further support during bereavement.

We continue to remember those whose funerals have been held at Christ Church. We pray for them on a Sunday near the anniversary of their death and notify their family by email so that they may be present if they wish.

Memorial Garden

The Christ Church Memorial Garden provides a peaceful place for the interment of ashes and the placement of memorial plaques. Read more about the Memorial Garden.
