for the Commemoration of the Life of Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother

Cambridge University Press has today published official Forms of Service for commemorating the life of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Authorised by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York for use in the Church of England, these services are also suitable for ecumenical use and are freely made available.

The official guidance encourages their use up to the day of the funeral, April 9th, and for seven days after that, but stipulates that they should not be used on the day of the funeral itself.

Both traditional and contemporary forms for Holy Communion and memorial services are included. The orders of service have been produced electronically and have been placed on a web site in PDF format, from where they can be freely downloaded and reproduced without further permission being necessary.
