Churches & Churchyard Guidance

Sadly, one of the things many of us avoid talking about is death. This means that when someone we love dies, we can be left to make choices and decisions at a difficult and emotive time. One of the things many people prefer not to discuss is what will happen to their body once they have gone. This leaflet aims to help you through some of the choices and decisions you will need to make, and relates specifically to the situation in the Church of England, and the Diocese of Truro.

Churches, like other buildings, can outlive their original purpose. This may be due to population movements, changing social patterns, or other factors.
