When someone close to us dies, we experience all sorts of emotions. Our minds are full of thoughts about the loss we feel and the gap that has opened in our lives. Nobody can close the gap, but a funeral celebrant can help you to create a fitting and appropriate funeral service for the person you have lost.
Funerals should reflect a true memory picture of the life of the person who has died. As every one of us leads lives that are distinctly different to anyone else. This, naturally, means that our funerals, when the time comes, should capture that individuality. That is more important than whether a funeral ceremony is secular, religious, humanist or otherwise.
What matters to me most is that I prepare and conduct the type of ceremony that focuses on the most important and memorable aspects of the relationship between the person who has died and their family and friends.
My goal is to assist you in painting a picture that will be memorable and respectful, and that will make a difference in helping you to move through the grieving process.
Delivering a ceremony that is fitting and appropriate is my number one priority. Observing your wishes and those of the person who has died, I will prepare a full ceremony text, including a tribute, and send it to you. You will then have the opportunity to make changes or amendments.
I will liaise with the funeral director and anyone else directly involved in the funeral ceremony throughout.
