A funeral is used to mark the end of a person's life here on earth. Family and friends come together to express grief, give thanks for the life lived and commend the person into God's keeping. These can be a small, quiet ceremony or a large occasion in a packed church.

 

Everyone is entitled to a funeral led by their local parish priest regardless of whether they attended church or not.
