Until relatively recently a Church of England funeral was the
default option of the majority of the British population. This is
no longer the case. Today, in some urban areas, secular or humanist
funerals now account for 40% of funerals. The numbers of Anglican
funerals are in free-fall. In exploring what makes a good funeral,
this practical guide aims to rebuild the confidence of clergy in
their funeral ministry and to equip them for transformative,
missional pastoral engagement. This book grew out of diocesan
consultation with funeral directors who identified three essential
qualities that only the church offers: a distinctive understanding
of death continuing pastoral care hope, not just empathy. Building
on this foundation, Robert Atwell suggests many practical ways in
which the church can become better at conducting funerals and
engaging with those who seek pastoral support at critical points in
their lives.
