Funeral / Celebration of Life
Honouring a Life, Sharing a Story
Saying goodbye is never easy, but I’m here to help create a ceremony that honours your loved one with warmth, compassion, and a personal touch. Every life is unique, and their farewell should be too. Here’s what you can expect when we work together.
1. A Gentle Introduction
We’ll start with a relaxed chat, either over the phone, on a video call, or in person if possible. This is a chance for you to share your thoughts, ask questions, and let me know what kind of ceremony feels right for you and your loved one.
2. Remembering Together
Next, we’ll have a one-to-one (or with family and friends if you prefer) to dive into their story. This two-hour session gives you space to share memories, stories, and the little details that made them special. Whether you’d like the ceremony to be heartfelt, uplifting, or a bit of both, we’ll shape it together.
3. Personalised Rituals
If you’d like to include a special ritual, I can help you find something meaningful, or create something entirely unique. Whether it’s lighting candles, sharing a toast, placing personal items on the coffin, or even a military tribute, these moments can offer comfort and connection, creating a lasting memory.
4. Support Along the Way
Planning a funeral can feel overwhelming, but you won’t be alone. I’ll be available for any questions or thoughts that come up, with direct access via WhatsApp / Email during reasonable hours. Whether it’s a new memory you’d like to add or just a check-in, I’m here to help guide you through.
5. The Day Before
The night before the ceremony, I’ll check in to make sure everything feels right and that you’re as prepared as you can be. We’ll go over any final details, and I’ll be there to offer reassurance and calm any last-minute nerves.
6. A Ceremony to Remember
On the day, I’ll be there early to make sure everything runs smoothly. I’ll lead the ceremony with warmth, care, and professionalism, ensuring your loved one’s story is told with the respect and love they deserve. Whether you’d like music, readings, or special rituals, I’ll be there to hold the space and guide the service.
7. A Tribute to Keep
After the ceremony, you’ll receive a beautiful copy of the service script, a lasting tribute to their life and the words shared in their honour.
With years of experience supporting people through grief and loss, I bring empathy, calmness, and genuine care to every ceremony. My role is to hold the space, share the stories, and ensure your loved one’s farewell is as unique and special as they were.
Whenever you’re ready, I’m here to listen.
Let’s honour their life, together.
