 Services.. child funeral, misscarriage & stillbirth |

This is one area of Hospital
Chaplaincy work where we are able to be more flexible in our practice
(in terms of liturgy) but also need to be more careful (due to
emotional sensitivity). It is perhaps surprising that there is not more
obvious sharing of practice, although there is a natural reluctance to
sound like an 'expert' in the field. We all struggle with such
services, and links from this page are of variable quality. It will
only improve with more open sharing of material. Church of England (Common Worship) Funeral of a Child This is the latest version of the service- with a version including Holy Communion & related theological notes, by Revd Oliver O'Donovan, Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology in the University of Oxford. 01/11 Twelve days old A good example of an individual service following the death of a twelve day old child- well laid out, including a short homily (kindly shared with permission by Revd Dr John Mark Capper. Academic Dean, Tabor College Sydney Australia) 01/11 'A Service to Follow the Birth of a Stillborn Child, or the Death of a Newly-born Child' From The Uniting Church in Australia- a pastoral service intended to take place quite soon after the event. 01/11 Funeral For A Stillborn Child, by Wayne Greeson Make your own mind up- does not seem ideal for most pastoral situations- but if mother is within an evangelican congregation, may have some elements of use 01/11 Funeral for a Stillborn Baby By Jane White- Address used to go with UM book of Worship 01/11 Message For Stillborn Baby by Brian Bolton- another funeral sermon with some positive material that may be used. 01/11 Secular New Zealand Child Funeral An interesting example of a secular child funeral by celebrant Bill Logan 01/11 |
