The cost of cremations is rising. But the cost of a CofE minister is not. Everyone can access a special, personal service led by a minister at a crematoria. @churchofengland
@CatThatcher1 @vahva Neither will a good minister!! Listening well, meeting needs, making connections is at the heart. Grief and celebration are both important
Relative disposal costs to the environment (not total fees)

The lovely people at Church of England Funerals @CofEFunerals have asked me to speak at their conferance on Contemporary challenges around ashes and bodies -you have until the 20th to get the early bird dicounted rate "Just Put Me in the Bin" https://t.co/GosE6TVHSL via @eventhq
More than two-thirds of us (67 per cent) say it's incredibly important that our final wishes are carried out after we die; yet only a quarter of us tell our family about what we want https://t.co/hmVmLEpr2W
It can be difficult to know how to help a friend or family member who is grieving. You may want to send a card, you may plan to go to the funeral, but there may be more that you can do. Here are a few ideas.. https://t.co/37IDSofZVA
