• Our minister is available to conduct the funeral service, either in the church building, at a crematorium or cemetery chapel, in the Funeral Home or in your own home. He will discuss in detail with you what you would like included in the service. The practical arrangements are usually made by a local undertaker. Castle Square has close links with Castle Court Funeral Home, located next to the church (Tel: 01443 493870). There are a number of other local firms who will also be willing to assist.
• You may want to arrange for the interment or scattering of ashes at a later date – perhaps because your loved one died a long way from home and you wish to have a memorial locally. This does not have to involve a religious service, but our minister would be happy to arrange one if you wish.
• Grief does not finish on the day of the funeral – far from it. You may at a later date want to arrange a memorial service. Again, our minister and the church will be happy to help you do this.

All these services can be conducted in either English or Welsh, or bilingually.

 

For the second year, Castle Square will hold a service of remembrance and thanksgiving for those who have died, and of support for those who are grieving, on Sunday 4^th January 2009 at 3.30pm. The service is arranged in partnership with our friends at Castle Court Funeral Home, and Castle Court have invited the families of all those whose names have been added during 2008 to the Book of Remembrance at the back of the church. But the service is open to all – we have all been bereaved at some time or another. The service lasts about 45 minutes, and includes an opportunity to light a candle in remembrance and to add a thought to the Book of Remembrance. This book is becoming an important part of our ministry – and that of Castle Court – to the bereaved of our neighbourhood, and this service is a further opportunity to share our love and concern with them. Tea and coffee will be served after the service for those who wish to stay and chat.
