The bees and the butterfly love the thistle.
I love allowing my garden to have a wild side.

I wish you could see what I see.

Why do we have funerals? For me it's so we can gather and support each other in our goodbyes. The coming together honouring and showing our respect to our loved one.
We have been holding ceremony for centuries as we say farewell and I believe there is a reason for this.

I see it with families now wanting memorial services as their loved one thought they would save them "the trouble" and arranged direct funerals. Families that didn't get the chance to say goodbye. (If you are planning a direct cremation please talk it over with your family first)

The threshold moments of a funeral is the committal the actual moment we say our final farewell. For me this is the moment we pay our respects by being present, in the moment. The most important part of the ceremony the actual moment we say our last farewell with our loved one present and we do it together.

So if you decide to have photos during the service may I strongly suggest you have them tied to the reflection music it may be a little more expensive than a basic slideshow but so worth it.

Because if you choose not too I would love you you to see what I can see.
And that is lots of heads turned towards a screen.
They are not present they are not appreciating this is the last farewell they are not honouring your loved one in that moment. They are not hearing any words bring said.

Now you may be ok with that and that's perfectly OK but perhaps you are not aware of what is going on behind you and would prefer your family and friends to be there in that very special moment.

Now you know what I see and you can decide for yourself when you find yourself arranging a funeral.

Don't let photos replace your goodbye.

Yesterday was the most moving vow renewal of M and H.

The vows were so deep and heart felt we all had to hold back the tears especially me.

It was pure deep devoted love and it was so beautiful.

It really was a privilege and an honour to lead the ceremony. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
