The death of a loved one brings many practical challenges, on top of the emotional impact. Few of us have much, if any, experience of dealing with such practicalities and organising a funeral is probably the most difficult. We have to try and arrange something that reflects the personality of the person who has died and meet the needs of those – including ourselves – who are grieving for their loss.
Not everyone wants a religious funeral attached to a particular faith but equally they may not want a totally humanist funeral. As an independent celebrant I am here to help put together a service to respect and celebrate the life that is gone, and offer comfort to those who mourn their loss.
I will spend time with you and other close family/friends, learning about the person who has died, and discuss what you would like in the funeral – maybe a favourite poem to be read, a short eulogy written by someone close, a special piece of music or hymn to be played, or maybe a prayer. It’s all about what you want – there is no preset service, every one is unique and tailored to your needs.
