I will work closely with you and your family to make what could be a sombre occasion into a joyous ceremony of remembrance enabling you and your family to gather in a warm and supportive environment where we can come together to celebrate not just the life lived but the love shared and the impact the individual had on those around them.
These uplifting gatherings are designed to recall unique stories and cherished memories that are comforting and uplifting.
As an independent celebrant I am inclusive of all faiths, beliefs and backgrounds and will create a ceremony that’s welcoming to everyone, regardless of religious affiliation.
Let’s work together to create a unique celebration of life.
Celebration of Life
Scattering of Ashes
The scattering of ashes ceremony is shorter than a traditional funeral however can be tailored to be a meaningful and memorable event. This personalized and comforting experience will provide closure, healing and a sense of peace for all those involved.
You can choose a location (that has the owners permission) that holds significance, this could be a favourite park or garden or any other meaningful outdoor setting that allows for a peaceful and uplifting atmosphere.
I will work closely with you to create a customized ceremony that reflects the wishes and personality of the deceased and their loved ones and will officiate on the day.
To make the ceremony special there are all kinds of ways we could honour the memory, by releasing ballons, planting a tree or scattering seeds, the list is endless, and I would be happy to work with you to make the occasion as special as possible.
Memorial Ceremonies
A memorial service is a ceremony that is held to honour and remember the life of the deceased, unlike a funeral ceremony memorial ceremonies are typically held at a later date.
My role would be to work with you and your family to understand your wishes, preferences and life story of your loved one. To create a ceremony that reflects their personality, values and beliefs and the impact they have had on your lives and lives of your friends.
I can suggest readings or poems and we can include any rituals or traditions that are meaningful, we can make the ceremony anything you would like it to be.
Pet Ceremonies
Pet funerals are a way for us to member our beloved companions that have held a special place in our hearts and lives.
Our pets are part of our family, and their passing can be an emotional experience for you and your family.
A pet ceremony provides a way to acknowledge the special bond and connection shared, allowing for a proper farewell and expression of love and gratitude.
It’s an opportunity to celebrate the life and joy of the pet and allows for a reflection on the happy memories, funny moments and unique quirks of the pet, creating a positive and uplifting experience.
What are the steps involved?
Below are the steps that we would need to take to plan a celebration of life ceremony …
I would come and meet you in person so that we can get to know each other, with my goal being to make the experience personal, warm and uplifting as possible.
I will listen while you share your ideas and wishes for the ceremony and can provide advice and suggestions to ensure that your values and beliefs are included.
We will work together to create a personalised ceremony that reflects the unique life of the deceased, incorporating personal stories, memories and rituals that are meaningful to you and your family.
If required I can source poems or readings that align with the purpose and theme of the ceremony.
On the day of the ceremony, I will arrive early so ensure everything is in order and will officiate the ceremony.
