A personal funeral for your loved one
Supporting the Bereaved
I will deliver a service that is memorable which is tailored to your specific requirements with the aim to honour your loved one and bring comfort to those left behind.
I will liaise closely with you and the Funeral Director to ensure everything goes to plan.
Whatever you would like I will be happy to discuss with you to find the best approach for your service.
Funeral Service
Conducting the Service
I will conduct the service on the day according to your wishes, I offer face-to-face or on-line meetings ahead of the funeral which allows me to get to know more about your loved one and give you the opportunity to ask questions.
I will make suggestions for prayers, poems, music, photos and readings as well as discussing other ideas to personalise your funeral.
Order of Service
Timing and Content
Some crematoriums have shorter timings than others so a double slot may be beneficial, I can advise on this and suggest timings for your order of service.
Your Funeral Director can supply you with an Order of Service template which you can complete or we can complete it together to create a beautiful service for your loved one.
From the information you provide, I will craft a tribute to your loved one and read it on the day. This takes the pressure off the family at such an emotional time. I will be there to support family members who wish to speak on the day.
Religious and Non-Religious Funerals
Understanding what's available
Each religion has a different officiant to conduct the funeral service depending on your religious belief. You may already have a religious leader in mind, I will liaise with your contact or find the appropriate person to lead your service.
Within non-religious funerals there are Humanists where funerals typically don't include any religious elements and Civil celebrants like myself who are happy to leave space in the service for prayer or to incorporate traditional hymns and readings.
