Funerals

We are very sorry for your loss.

The churchyard of St Mary Magdalen’s is closed for burials, but all who live in the parish and who are associated with the church may have their funerals celebrated here.

Our common practice is to celebrate a High Mass for Requiem, but funerals sans messe are also possible, as are memorial services (e.g., after a funeral, or on a significant anniversary).

If you would like to discuss an upcoming funeral, please get in touch with us at your convenience.

Requiem Masses

Outside of funerals, requiem masses are also celebrated on the last Friday of each month at 6pm, annually on All Souls’ Day (2nd November), and on other occasions at special request.
