After the death of a loved one, there is always much to do, and at St Margaret’s Church we are here to help you through the process of preparing for a funeral.

You may want to hold a funeral in St Margaret’s Church because you live locally, or have a connection with Babington.

Only residents of the Parish of Babington and Newbury may be laid to rest in St Margaret's Graveyard.
