Funerals

Funeral services are scheduled as St Columba calendar and space permit.

How much does it cost to have a funeral at St Columba?

1. If your funeral is being taken by a St Columba celebrant, the cost is $500 . This covers the celebrant's fee ($350) and hire of the church ($150) for the funeral service. In addition there is a fee for using the pipe organ of $100, or you may wish to invite your own musicians.
2. If you want your funeral to be conducted by another priest or funeral celebrant, this person will need to be approved by the vicar of St Columba. The cost for this arrangement is $250 . If you require the use of the organ, this will cost an additional $100 which should be paid directly to the organist for the services rendered.
3. If you also want to use the St Columba hall for refreshments, this can be done by arrangement at a cost of $150.

The officiating clergy will plan the service with the family members or friends of the deceased. As with weddings, other clergy may assist.
