Personal and religious items
Methodism is relatively free of religious symbols.
Members may wear a plain cross and appreciate a copy of the Christian Bible. Any other jewellery or personal items are unlikely to have religious significance.
Use of religious symbols
- It is not appropriate to display a crucifix, images of Mary (the Mother of Jesus), saints or icons from other traditions in a mortuary area where a deceased Methodist is laid out.
- It is advised to check with family about the use of candles. If in doubt it is best to not use candles.
