Our meeting
Often this includes close family and friends. If someone can't attend, they're welcome to share memories or reflections by email. Just let me know in advance so I can include their words.
There's no need to prepare anything in advance. It can help to think about stories, quirks, habits, or sayings - the little things that made your loved one uniquely themselves. My role is simply to listen and gently guide the conversation, helping me understand who your loved one was beyond dates and milestones. I understand this is a tender time, and I'll approach our conversation with care, patience, and respect.
What We'll Talk About
Together, we'll talk about the memories, people and moments that made your loved one unique.
You might share:
Their passions and hobbies
Favourite places and music
Family traditions and holidays
Their sense of humour and what made them laugh
Their work, interests and achievements
The people and moments that mattered most to them
The little quirks and everyday moments everyone remembers
Every story you share helps me to create a funeral ceremony that truly reflects the life, personality and values of the person you're remembering.

Planning the Ceremony
During our meeting we'll also talk through the practical details of the funeral ceremony, including music, hymns, readings, poems and whether family or friends would like to take part.
Together we'll create a funeral service that feels personal, meaningful and true to the person being remembered, while offering comfort to everyone gathered to celebrate their life.
On the day of the service, I'll arrive in plenty of time to greet you, liaise with the funeral director and ensure everything runs smoothly before delivering the ceremony with warmth, professionalism and compassion.
Ashes Interment and Scattering Ceremonies
Many families choose to hold a separate ashes interment or scattering ceremony after the funeral.
Whether you'd like a quiet family gathering or a larger occasion to celebrate your loved one's life, I can create a personal ceremony that provides another opportunity to remember, reflect and say goodbye in a meaningful way.
Ashes interment and scattering ceremonies are available from £70 within 30 miles of Dundee.
Can we hold a memorial after a direct cremation?
Yes. If the cremation has already taken place, I can help you plan a personal memorial or a quiet ceremony when you inter or scatter the ashes. You can contact me directly, even if I wasn't involved earlier.
