Funerals
For a Funeral Ceremony as individual as your loved one
"We understand death for the first time when he puts his hand upon one whom we love." .... Madame de Stael A Celebration of Life A Funeral Ceremony is an opportunity for family and friends to pay their respect to the deceased and thank them for being a part of their life, whilst offering comfort, support and a sense of hope to mourners. Every person whose life we celebrate has lived a life of meaning and value. A funeral service should not focus entirely on grief and loss. It should reflect a person’s life, and the many contributions they made to enriching their friends and loved one’s lives. Creating a Funeral Ceremony which is as individual as your loved one is imperative, focussing on compassion and sensitivity. Although not traditionally religious, it can reflect the degree of spirituality that is meaningful to the family. The family is encouraged to help select appropriate readings, wording and music and the possible inclusion of speakers, reading of poems, verse and other material. I will help you to design a dignified, meaningful and personal service to meet your needs. Pre-Planned Ceremony Many people like to have things planned well ahead and opt for prepaid funerals, but often neglect the ceremony side of things. The choice of Celebrant and style of ceremony is very important, as this is an extremely private and emotional time for the family concerned. Every care should be taken for the funeral ceremony to be conducted according to the client's wishes. Therefore, many clients choose to have personal input into their own ceremony, by pre-arranging their ceremony with their chosen Celebrant. This can also avoid unnecessary burdens on loved ones during sensitive times. If you are wanting to plan a ceremony for the future, contact me for more details.
