A retired or SSM Minister receives £120. The other £120 is paid to the Deanery.
If a Stipendiary Minister is covering for a colleague at a funeral service in a Church, £110 goes to the Deanery and £110 goes to the Church in which the service takes place. The visiting colleague receives only the travel fee.
If a stipendiary Minister is covering for a colleague at the Crematorium, £110 goes to the Deanery and £110 goes to the Church of the Priest who takes the service, regardless of the origin of the deceased, unless it is a retired/SSM Priest, taking the service, in which case £110 is for the Deanery and £110 for the Priest taking the service.
