We try whenever possible to make the Chapel available for funerals and memorial services to members of the wider university community, and to graduates and former staff of Trinity College. Please contact the chaplain to discuss this possibility.
Detailed wishes around funeral details may be recorded by individuals at any time with the chaplain’s office, and a pamphlet to help with this is available. It must be understood, however, that the legal next-of-kin are those who have the final power of determination with regard to funeral arrangements.
As a ministry to the greater university community, Trinity College makes its chapel available for funerals and memorial services. The available times for use of the chapel are limited: funerals and memorial services are generally restricted to weekdays and Saturdays, based on availability. We do not charge for the rental of the facilities, but there is a fee paid to the musician, to the verger (the person responsible for setup and clean-up), and to the officiant. If you would like to plan a service for the Trinity College Chapel, please feel free to contact the Chaplain at chaplain@trinity.utoronto.ca or 416-978-3288.
As a rule, infants may be baptized in the Trinity College Chapel when their families have particularly close connections with the college or university (as in the case of current students for whom the chapel is their primary faith community). The sacrament of baptism is also available to adults within the college and university community, following a period of preparation and instruction. Please contact the Chaplain (chaplain@trinity.utoronto.ca or 416-978-3288) for more information.
