It is an honour to be able to support family members and friends who have been bereaved to plan unique funerals and memorial events, and then to lead inclusive and respectful ceremonies on their behalf.
My commitment to you is to ensure that the ceremony is a milestone which you are comfortable with and which you know puts the person you have lost at its heart.
While bereavement is an experience we can all anticipate, the reality of it can be unexpected and overwhelming. At this time planning a ceremony can feel challenging, even if your loved one had created some plans of their own. As celebrant I can ease that challenge and ensure that the ceremony is conducted with dignity and meaning, is responsive to your wishes and meets the individual needs of the mourners. I offer advice on what to include, and how you can contribute if you wish to.
In my conversations with you I can help you to share your memories and to explore the character, relationships and life events of your loved one. I create tributes that are authentic and appreciative, and adopt a careful balance between celebrating lives and acknowledging the grief of loss. Between us we can create a ceremony which is itself an opportunity for new memories. Following the ceremony you will receive a presentation copy of the ceremony as a keepsake.
