Does a ‘church’ funeral have to be in a church?

Church of England ministers can conduct funerals in four different venues:

• A church. This will normally be the church building where they are based.
• A crematorium chapel.
• A municipal or private cemetery: this might be in the cemetery chapel or just at the graveside
• A natural burial ground. Again, the service here could be in the chapel or meeting room of the ground, or at the graveside.
