Funerals

Grief can be a very sad, lonely and difficult time. If you are visiting this page because you have recently, or sometime ago, lost a loved one, we offer our heartfelt condolences.

To arrange a funeral or memorial service, at any of our three churches, please contact the Church Office, Tel: 0118 934 4792, email: office@thru-christ.org.uk or liaise with your chosen funeral director.

Burials and Burials of Ashes

The churchyards at both St Mary's Twyford and St James Ruscombe have been declared full and are closed to burials.

Twyford Parish Council manages the parish burial ground which is immediately adjacent, and those from the civil parish of Twyford may be buried there.

Burials of Ashes after cremation can take place at St James’ churchyard, Ruscombe or the Twyford parish burial ground for those from the relevant civil parishes. 

There is also a Garden of Remembrance at St Mary’s, Twyford, where ashes may be placed and a Book of Remembrance is kept in the church.
