Funerals

​​When someone dies, there is suddenly so much to organise while your brain is still trying to catch up with what’s happened.

​

My role is to help make that process feel calmer, more personal and more human.

Whether you already know exactly what you want or have absolutely no idea where to start, I’ll guide you gently through the process and create a service that feels meaningful, respectful and true to the person you love.

 

Having lost both parents, a sibling and a partner. Speaking at their funerals is what led me to celebrancy. I get it, I truly do.

​

If you've arranged a private burial or cremation but would like to organize a memorial service that is where my services really come into their own. I can provide the sound system - speaker and microphones - to play your music and make sure the friends and family who are speaking will be heard, even at an outside location.

​

My job is to put together the words. I will discuss with you the level of spiritual and cultural input required, take you through the order of elements in the service, and note who if anyone else will be speaking. I am always available to read others’ contributions if they are overwhelmed on the day.

​

I can provide help and support to a family member preparing the Eulogy or I can write and deliver it for you. You may have poetry, quotes or readings in mind, I can leave you with a selection to choose from, or perhaps write something unique for your loved one.

​

Together, we can create a farewell that feels honest, meaningful and deeply personal.
