The Rev John Cree, of Immanuel Parish Church, Feniscowles, is helping organise the service.

He said: "Bereavement is a journey and in the past we have found that this service can help the process. It is open to people from all denominations.

The crematorium will be opened afterwards for anyone who wants to pay their respects to loved ones."

Everybody is welcome to attend the service.
