As your Funeral Celebrant, my approach is grounded in compassion,

creativity, and deep respect for the person you've lost.

I believe in honouring their life by crafting a meaningful ceremony that

truly reflects their essence.

When we embark on this journey together, I will attentively listen to

the stories and memories you share about your loved one.

These narratives will form the foundation of a script that weaves together their unique life journey.

I hold their beliefs in high regard, incorporating only what is relevant and significant to them.

I encourage you to express your heartfelt emotions and write your own stories or eulogies.

Your authentic words will paint a vivid picture of the life your loved one lived, allowing those who attend, whether in person or through a web-link, to truly understand and appreciate their remarkable journey.

​

Prior to the arrival of guests, the coffin or urn will be placed, providing a private moment for the family to silently cherish their loved one's presence. As the ceremony begins, I will enter last, paying my respects before commencing the proceedings with a heartfelt introduction.

Throughout the ceremony, I will introduce each person who wishes to speak, recite a poem, or sing a song, providing them with an opportunity to share their cherished memories and personal reflections.

This celebration may encompass various elements, such as songs, poems, readings, a photographic music tribute, and the display of photographs or meaningful mementos that evoke cherished memories of your loved one's life.

​

During this gathering, tears will flow, carrying both sadness and joy as we collectively remember and honour the person who has departed from this world.

Speaking from the heart becomes an integral part of the healing process for friends and family, fostering a supportive environment where grief can be shared and experienced together.

If a coffin is present, pall-bearers will step forward to carry your loved one with utmost reverence to the hearse. The closest family members may choose to bid their final goodbye by gently closing the hearse door.

For those considering a memorial ceremony involving the scattering of ashes or the planting of a tree, we will proceed to the designated place where your loved one's ashes will find their resting place. If a burial is chosen, I will offer guidance on other traditions you may wish to consider before the coffin is lowered, ensuring that each ritual aligns with your family's wishes and cultural background.

​

Throughout this journey, my role as your Funeral Celebrant is to support you, create a space of comfort, and guide you through this profound time of remembrance and honouring. Together, we will embrace the memories, the tears, and the healing that will allow you and those who loved your departed family member to carry their legacy forward, while finding solace in the embrace of time, support, and cherished friendships.
