Funerals, Ashes Scatterings, Memorials and End of Life Ceremonies
At the time of of a loved one's passing, it can be hard to think clearly - especially when decisions about a ceremony need to be made. Some families wish for a joyful celebration of life; others seek a quieter, more reflective space to honour loss and memory.
This is where a Celebrant can help. I'll meet with you, to gently explore your wishes, and - where possible - those of the person who has passed. From there I'll craft a ceremony that brings all the right elements together in a way that feels respectful, meaningful, and right for everyone involved.
Whether you're planning a full burial with a graveside blessing, a crematorium service, or a scattering of ashes at a later time, each ceremony is created with care and shaped to reflect your values, beliefs, and needs.
This can be in a special or meaningful place and a time of closeness for friends and family members, with appropriate words to allow for the healing process to begin.
Memorial Ceremonies may happen weeks or even months after a passing - allowing time for people to gather, reflect, and celebrate a life lived. These too are built with the same compassion and close collaboration, ensuring every detail feels personal and considered.
Sometimes, individuals nearing the end of life feel a strong desire to plan their own funeral - or simply talk to someone - outside their family - about what lies ahead.
As an end-of -life guide, I offer a space to be heard. I visit, listen, and support planning in a way that can be cathartic for the person and comforting for those they leave behind.
Together, we make sure their wishes are honoured - and that those who love them are supported, too.
Not everyone reaches the end of life surrounded by family or friends. Some may be isolated, estranged from loved ones, or living in circumstances where support is limited.
Whatever the situation, I believe every person deserves dignity, compassion, and to have their voice heard.
When someone doesn't have others to speak for them. I' offer a calm and respectful space to listen, plan, and ensure their final wishes are known - so that even in solitude, they are not forgotten.
