Losing a loved one brings forward many emotions.
There is also lots of organising to be done including finding a way to remember those that have passed over, which is appropriate and personal to the person that they were.
As a Celebrant it is my role to help bring together their story. To allow their story to be told and for those remembering them to feel there is an opportunity to say goodbye, in way they would choose themselves.
You may want a traditional ceremony or service at the crematorium or a burial and I work alongside your chosen Funeral Directors to make that happen.
Or you may want something totally different, perhaps:
I will visit the family and really get to understand what is important to them and then create a ceremony that reflects this.
We also understand that you may be planning your own funeral and provide an empathetic and understanding service that can work with you – giving you peace of mind.
Life transitions including loss are important to mark – they may be a celebration or they may feel overwhelming.
My role is support you and make this last goodbye as smooth as possible in a way that really allows you to feel you have created something meaningful.
Full funeral service and support £220 additional in memorium and order of service booklets available on request.
The funeral does not always enable you to say goodbye as you hoped and in recent months numbers and time have been very limited in the traditional services held.
Or perhaps having said goodbye you want to remember the person at a later time – when you can focus on happier memories or you have found out more of their life story.
A Celebration Of Life allows you to do this – tailored to your exact wishes you can create a beautiful ceremony which can be held in any location and bring together friends and family – to remember and celebrate the person in a very special way.
We can help you plan and create a celebration to remember!
£250 including creation of ceremony , officiating and memorial copy of ceremony wording.
“Ali conducted my mother’s funeral celebration. She spent time to get to know her through her family and friends and then wrote a fantastic life story, adding humour, compassion and grace to the delivery. She was there for me every step of the way. Thank you Ali you did her proud.”
