Ceremonies - funerals - celebration of life
While a funeral director is the professional most likely to deal with the practical arrangements of a funeral, the type of ceremony you want is entirely up to you. You get to choose - the hearse or alternative transport; the coffin, casket or shroud; the venue ... there are many ways to make the ceremony feel unique and authentic.
Gathering to celebrate the life of someone who has died can be an event to truly remember. Do you want to create a photo tree? Ask people to share stories around the kitchen table? Sing together?
What I do:
Meet with you to find out about the life of the person who has died
Talk with you about what would make the ceremony meaningful and unique to the person who has died and those around them. It can be at the crematorium, but it doesn't have to be. Your garden? A barn? The Cricket Club?
Outline the practicalities of the ceremony, then discuss how to craft a ceremony that is meaningful to you. This may include talking about your choice of music, eulogy, tributes, poetry or readings.
Draft a copy and send it through to you for review so that we can refine this together
Work with other parties involved to make sure the event runs smoothly
Lead the ceremony on the day
