WELCOME
There are signs throughout our culture that people are beginning to talk about death, dying and funerals. The Church of England conducts around 3,300 funerals each week and for generations the church has been helping people prepare for dying, remember loved ones at funeral services, and has supported them on their journey of grief and remembering. We have lots of experience to draw on.
GraveTalk is a simple way to help people in your community get together and talk about death, dying and funerals in the relaxed easy context of a café space. It has been tried and tested over the past two years and proved successful and popular.
This guide is to help you set up and run your own GraveTalk event. It has practical tips and ideas about the event as well as some background theological thinking. However, we encourage you to adapt GraveTalk to your own context.
This guide also contains practical information about the arrangements that need to be made when someone dies and a short article about grief which you are free to reproduce. There is also a list of useful websites and books.
GraveTalk is one of the resources that has been developed as part of the Church of England’s work around funerals and dying.
