Why was Stephen Hawking's funeral in a church?

[concise]

I can't get the @ for Nap and his new function screenname.

But just wondering why one of the most prominent atheists of the modern era had a funeral in a church?

‘Our father lived and worked in Cambridge for over 50 years. He was an integral and highly recognisable part of the university and the city. For this reason, we have decided to hold his funeral in the city that he loved so much and which loved him. Our father’s life and work meant many things to many people, both religious and non-religious. So, the service will be both inclusive and traditional, reflecting the breadth and diversity of his life.’

And he was British. Churches over there are kinda apart of the culture.
