We begin with a family meeting. Please plan on one to two hours for this gathering. During our unhurried conversation, I will ask about your loved one’s personality and interests, how they touched the lives of others, how they would want to be remembered. We will discuss special elements such as music and readings and begin to shape a ceremony outline. During this time, I will give you an open floor to share your feelings and memories about your loved one. This time is all about remembering the departed, and we will work together to build a final farewell that celebrates the many different layers of their unique personality and life.
If necessary, I can arrange telephone interviews with any significant people unable to attend the meeting.
Working with a celebrant, you are in control and there is complete flexibility as to what can be included in a funeral ceremony. I do not work from a set template or script – each service is completely unique and will reflect your wishes – from the eulogy, to the readings, involvement of family and friends, music and things which have meaning to you and your family.
A memorial service or celebration of life can be truly uplifting and the farewell that you would wish. They can form an ongoing part of the healing process and allow you the freedom to honor your loved one’s life your way. I would work with you to help you create a personal farewell and deliver the service on the day of service.
Should you wish, I can support you with the preparation of a modest and symbolic farewell service. This could comprise elements of the original funeral, or be something more reflective of a final gesture of love. I will be guided by you and, together, we will create something which befits the occasion and the person.
