- St Peter's, Berkhamsted
- Address High Street Berkhamsted, HP4 2DJ, United Kingdom
We gather to remember with thanksgiving all those whom we have loved but see no longer. Our Christian hope is that death is not the end. Everyone is welcome, whether or not you are a regular churchgoer.
There will be an opportunity for everyone to light a candle in memory of loved ones, and to pray. The choir will sing Duruflé's Requiem.
It is our tradition to remember those who have died by reading out their names during the service. If you would like to include the name of a loved one, there is a list inside St Peter's Church.
"Sing praise, then, for all who here sought and here found him,
whose journey is ended, whose perils are past;
they believed in the light; and its glory is round them,
where the clouds of earth’s sorrows are lifted at last."
- William Henry Draper (1916)
