Life celebrations & Funerals
My Approach
This is such a difficult time for anyone who has lost a loved one. There is so much to organise and legal obligations to meet, and it can be so difficult to talk about the person you have lost.
The celebration of life is about the loved one the family have lost, but also FOR the family and friends left behind to bring them some comfort.
My style is warm, heartfelt and compassionate with a natural understanding. I promise that I will never hurry you, or continue with our conversations if you are struggling, there is always another time. So I can write a beautiful personal and meaningful celebration of your loved ones life I want to get a feel for the person, who they were, what they loved, who and what they were most proud of, the funny things they said and the things that made them laugh out loud. This can be uplifting as well as sad, it can reflect the life they lived and what they gave to you and the world.
I don’t use templates or questionnaires, or give a list of dates, I will listen and deliver their personal story in a unique and bespoke way.
My Service
I will arrange to meet you and family members in person, either at home or a venue of your choice
We can have a chat about what you would like the celebration to look and feel like, the service can include music, poems and tributes from family and friends. It can be completely non-religious or include some bible reading or prayers
From what I have learnt about your loved one I will write a unique heartfelt service which I will share with you
You have the opportunity to make as many changes as you wish until you are completely comfortable with what I intend to say.
On the day, I will meet and support you at the the crematorium or other venue, and lead the ceremony we have written together
You will receive a presentation copy of your service to keep forever
