Being light to the people of the Mackay region
When a loved one or that special person you care about dies, it is important that the funeral both honours the deceased and also cares for the bereaved. In the Cluster, we take this dual role very seriously. We consider it a privilege to conduct a funeral.
Holy Trinity, St Ambrose and St Charles’ are available to all in our community for funerals and memorial services. We will also conduct services at the crematorium or at the graveside and be involved in the scattering or interment of ashes.
When planning a funeral there are suggested services provided in A Prayer Book for Australia. It is important, however, and entirely possible to craft a service that fits with each individual circumstance. Our clergy have a great deal of experience in planning services and are only too willing to help at what can be a very difficult time.
All of the local Funeral Directors have assisted with funerals and they will often contact us in the first instance to confirm times and dates.
Of course it can be a great gift to families and loved ones if you have given some thought to your funeral while you are still fit and healthy. You may like to talk with the Priest to plan your own funeral and so spare your family the task when the time comes.
