As part of the Diocese's significant involvement in the Taking Funerals Seriously project led by the national church, Bishop Michael reflects in a short video on the death of St Chad and the things he takes from that that help him in ministering to the dying.
There is more information for those dealing with the death of a family member or friend in our funerals pages and resources for ministers on the issues around death, dying and funerals as well.
The images of St Chad and the angels are all from Lichfield Cathedral: the angels are in the Choir screen as seen from the central crossing. The statue of St Chad is the model made by the cathedral's artist-in-residence, Peter Walker for the St Chad Statue project.
