Life events
Many people mark the most important moments in their lives with public occasions – births are marked with Baptism, marriages are marked with a wedding, and deaths are marked with a funeral. The Church of England can offer help at these important life events.
-
Baptisms
Baptism, or Christening, thanks God for his gift of life. In baptism, you are deciding to start your child on the journey of faith and asking for the Church's support.
-
Weddings
Whether you're just dreaming of a church wedding, or well into the planning already, your church wants to help and support you in your wedding and marriage.

Funerals
A funeral marks the close of a human life on earth. It is the opportunity for friends and family to express their grief, to give thanks for the life which has now completed its journey in this world and to commend the person into God's keeping.
