Information for Families
If you would like to hold a funeral or memorial service for your loved one, or bury them or their ashes, please contact our Rector, Sarah, at kingswoodrector@gmail.com or ask your funeral director to be in touch. We can offer support both before and after the funeral – you are always welcome to use our churches as quiet spaces to remember those who have died.
Each year in October or November, we hold a special service to remember those we love but see no longer, and we read out the names of those whose family members have requested it. Please be in touch if you’d like to have someone remembered by name. This year’s service is on Sunday 1st November at Holy Trinity Weston at 6pm.

Bereavement Support
If you’d like further support, please look at the At A Loss charity’s website for more information. We are also running The Bereavement Journey, a seven week course, at the start of 2027. Contact us to register your interest in this.
Each month we hold a Bereavement Drop In at Mill End Plants in Rushden, on the third Tuesday of each month, between 1pm and 3pm (so, 20th October, 17th November etc). Everyone is welcome to drop in for a chat, with others who have been bereaved. Thank you to Mill End Plants for hosting this for us.
Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
