Celebration of Life Memorial Service
"Instead of mourning their death, celebrate their life"
If you are reading this chapter on my website, the probability is, you have just lost someone very close to you and for this, I am sending you much love and peace during this very sad time.
​
Unfortunately, grief waits for no one and the daunting task of arranging a unique memorial service, truly marking the loss of your loved one, usually has to be organised swiftly.
​
From my experience of supporting so many beautiful families through this period of their life, I always feel honoured to be allowed to share in their reflections of this person and their most intimate thought processes on how best to remember and celebrate the person's life.
​
We all grieve in our own way and as a Celebrant, I will respect your wishes and together we will create a ceremony centred around their beliefs, how they lived their life, how they are to be celebrated, who they will be missed by and many other beautiful ways to capture a person's unique life.
​
Some religious faiths have very specific funeral rites and prayers, which I can lead for you if you wish.
As well as any words or music you may wish to include, I can suggest poems, readings, prayers, blessings, songs and hymns. These can be beautifully crafted into your ceremony and capture the person's unique personality and their love of life.
​
The ceremony can be traditional or contemporary, formal or relaxed, semi-religious or non-religious, to reflect your wishes and those of the person who has passed.
​
Sometimes I have the privilege of meeting the person before they have passed. This is a very humbling experience, as we work together on capturing their thoughts and their wishes, to craft a truly personal ceremony, in celebration of their life.
​
As a person's life is unique, so should their final celebration be.
Contact me for an informal chat and we can take it from there...
