Funerals

As a celebrant,  my goal is to ensure that all individuals have the opportunity to participate in a meaningful ceremony when someone they love dies. Learning to live without the daily physical presence of a loved one is indeed, a journey. Meaningful end-of-life ceremonies can be a vital and integrative part of beginning to heal from loss.

An increasing number of people say they are non-religious and may define their spirituality in different ways. A funeral, memorial or celebration of life service that reflects an individual’s lifestyle and personality, often mirrors his or her spiritual nature.

Friends and family often wish to participate in the planning and presentation of a personalised end of life ceremony, but are  uncertain how to do so. Celebrants are creative, alternative, ceremonial leaders. They are an excellent choice for those who want to honour the life of a deceased loved one through their chosen ceremony. Ceremonies that may or may not be religious in nature, but that are both deeply moving and meaningful for those who are bereaved.

A frequent comment after a Celebrant service is often: "It was very meaningful  and just what our loved one would have wanted."
