Funerals & Memorials
“Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.”
Rumi

Loss comes to us all, but the journey each of us takes through grief is completely unique. I know that from my own personal experience, as well as from my experience as a Celebrant; and so treating everyone going through the dark process of grief as an individual is extremely important to me.
My role as your Funeral Celebrant is to honour the personal story of the deceased, given to me by you, as well as supporting those left behind.
Guiding you through every step, I will meet you to really get to know about the life of your loved one and the memories of them you want to share at their funeral or memorial. For me, it’s not just about working for the family, it’s about working on behalf of the deceased too.
The ceremony will be completely bespoke, with a script written specifically in tribute to the loss of your loved one. It can include anything that feels right to you: hymns, live music, readings ... it’s very much about making it all as personal as possible to celebrate the life of the person who has passed.
Whether you choose to have a Cremation or Burial, including Natural or Eco-burial for your loved ones, I can guide you through. If you’d like assistance writing or choosing readings or music, I would be honoured to offer support. I can hold the ceremony anywhere you choose (except for religious settings), from overseeing the proceedings at a crematorium or grave side to scattering ashes at a much-loved beauty spot.
At the end of the ceremony I will gift you a copy of the content from the day; so that the special words written in memory of your loved one are yours to keep.
Please know that my role isn’t just to turn up on the day and read a few words – unless that is all you want of course. My role is to guide you through this final farewell from first contact to post-ceremony, so that I can honour and do justice to the memory of your loved one and take care of the ceremonial details to give you more space to grieve.
