The loss of a loved one is very difficult and our last goodbyes are momentous.
It is a time to pay your respects and to honour your loved one’s journey through life.
A fitting tribute can also be a comforting and beautiful memory for those left behind.
Funerals
I will support and guide you with kindness, respect and compassion as you explore your wishes for the service. I will take time to understand your loved one and what made them special to you, before writing a dignified and meaningful service that honours their unique character and life.
Ashes ceremonies
If you would like support to create a ceremony around the scattering or burial of your loved one’s ashes, there are lots of beautiful and memorable options to explore. We can tailor your ceremony to reflect the wishes of your loved one and family.
Memorials and
Celebrations of Life
Sometimes getting everybody to the funeral can be logistically difficult, or perhaps your loved one was not in the country when they passed away.
Perhaps you would prefer to share and celebrate their life with family and friends in a more relaxed atmosphere. I can help you to plan a special occasion that reflects their unique character and allows your guests to share their love and memories freely .
Advance Funeral Wishes
It can bring peace of mind, and be a kindness to your family to record your funeral wishes in advance to guide them in your wishes, and to prepare any special words, or memories that you’d like to share. Over a relaxed coffee, I can help you record your wishes to pass on for you.
At this difficult time, I will be with you every step on the way, with empathy and practical support, to give you peace of mind that your loved one will have a fitting send off.
If you have other wishes you would like to explore, I would be honoured to discuss them with you.
