I am a Celebrant, although I am trained in Weddings, Vow Renewals, Baby Naming, I prefer to specialise in Funerals, Living Funerals and Memorial Services.
As an independent Celebrant I can create religious and non religious ceremonies to cater for all needs.
I work with a number of Funeral Directors, although you can contact me via this page to book me for a service, if you would like to.
It is a most distressing time when a loved one dies, there is so much to do and see to it can all seem so overwhelming.
I aim to make the arrangements for the service as easy as possible, I visit you in your own home, either a day or evening appointments. You may have as many interested parties attend this meeting, for support and information gathering about the life of the deceased. We talk about the music, poems, reading’s and special commemorative touches you would like for your loved one service. We talk in-depth about your loved one’s life and loves, likes and dislikes, career, interests, family, milestones in their lives etc. In order that I can, over the next couple of days, write a fitting eulogy (although anyone else who would like to can write and present the eulogy) to honour your loved one.
I stay in contact with you right up to the funeral and the funeral, I am there to answer questions and to create a loving tribute of your loved one with the memories you share with me.
LIVING FUNERALS
These funerals aren’t really funerals but they are to give the person whose quality of life is diminishing a living tribute, to support them on their way through their illness or life limiting condition and for the person themselves to take the time to say their goodbyes to their loved ones. These meeting are similar to the above but I meet with the person who finds the end of life near and any family members, to arrange a suitable service for them. These services are usually carried out in the home or another appropriate place.
MEMORIAL SERVICES
These are services are usually after a period of time, after your loved one has died. A service to remember them and mark the time passing, they too are similar to the above meeting, choosing etc, but can be at home or again at another appropriate place.
ACCOMPANIED TO ASHES SCATTERING
I can accompany you to the scattering of Ashes of your loved one, creating if you would like a short but loving tribute for them, or I can scatter the ashes for you, this can be for your loved one or yourself if you have no one else to do this for you.
It is my privilege to work with individuals and family as they seek to honour their loved ones in loving ways
Email me for further information of any of the above with your contact details and we can arrange a short telephone conversation.
