Every funeral I officiate is a privilege.
I hope to be a comforting support to help you through the most difficult of days, from our first conversation to the final farewell. We’ll take our time, have a gentle chat about your loved one so I can learn all about them, hear their life stories, and understand their wishes.
After our initial meeting, I will write a bespoke funeral service, incorporating the perfect poem, reading, passage, or even prayer, if appropriate. I can suggest music for the processional and recessional as well as helping you choose the perfect piece for reflection or a visual tribute.
And, if you want to add other significant parts to the service from singing to dancing, or a symbolic element such as laying a favourite flower on the coffin, lighting candles or even releasing doves or butterflies, I can arrange that too.
Whatever you feel is appropriate usually is.
“The pain of grief is just as much part of life as the joy of love: it is perhaps the price we pay for love.” - Colin Murray Parkes
