Hello my name is Mari and I have been delivering unique humanist funeral ceremonies for two years. In a previous life, I was a nurse and health visitor working in various locations in London, Pontypridd and Cardiff and it was during my experiences as a nurse that I developed an interest in care of the dying patient and palliative care. I witnessed first hand the impact bereavement and grief has on a family. As a celebrant I cannot diminish your grief but I am able guide and support you during the most difficult time of your life. The important thing is that you have a personalised ceremony which reflects your loved one's life and character. This can mean helping you to choose music or poetry at a time when you may find making decisions very difficult.
Ceremonies can take many forms and apart from the conventional crematorium experience, there are other options such as, memorials, scattering of ashes and burials.
