How we can work together

As your funeral celebrant, I will meet with you to craft a funeral service that reflects your wishes and beliefs. During our initial meeting I will get to know you and your loved one and, together, we will agree the stories you want to share about their life and how they will be presented. We will also discuss and identify any readings, such as poems, you may wish to include, as well as the music you would like to be used as part of the service. 
After our meeting, I will write a draft version of the service and send it to you for you to read and make any changes you feel are required. I will then redraft the service before sending you a final draft two days before the funeral. 

Eulogy and Tribute Writing

Finding the right words to clearly express your feelings can be difficult at the best of times - finding those right words whilst coming to terms with the loss of a loved one can seem almost impossible. Working with you as your celebrant, I can help you to find the right words to express how special your loved one was to you and all who loved them. Whether you want to share your thoughts as a speech or as a poem, I will create a eulogy you will be proud to deliver.

Memorial Ceremonies

A memorial service is an opportunity to come together a few weeks after the funeral to share memories of your loved one and to take time to reflect on their life, which may not have been possible at the funeral. It provides a forum to talk openly and freely about what they meant to you. The memorial service can take place somewhere that you feel is appropriate – maybe somewhere that was important to your loved one and can include a wider circle of people than may have attended the funeral.
