Remembering a life through the stories that made it unique.
Saying goodbye is never easy. I will help you create a thoughtful and personal ceremony that honours their life with care and compassion, bringing together the memories, stories, people and little moments that made them who they were.
Funeral & Memorials
The Story Between
Every life is made up of so much more than dates and milestones. It is the happy memories, the funny stories, the people they loved, their favourite things and all the little moments that made them uniquely them.
I believe a funeral or memorial should tell that whole story. Together, we can remember their life from childhood through to the present day, filling their ceremony with the memories and moments that matter most- The Story Between. It is my honour to help you tell that story.
A personal goodbye, created with care. I am a compassionate person who has experienced the loss of people very close to me, and I understand how important it is to feel that the person you love has been remembered properly.
Your ceremony can be semi-religious or non-religious and completely tailored to your wishes. It may include music, hymns, poems, readings, memories from friends and family or simply the stories that capture the person you knew and loved.
Funeral & Memorials
What to expect
-
Once you feel ready, we will arrange a suitable time to talk. We can meet in your home, at a café, at the funeral directors or speak via FaceTime or WhatsApp. Other family members or friends are very welcome to be involved too.
-
When we meet, I will listen to the details of their life and the memories you would like to share. We'll talk about their childhood, family, friendships, experiences, favourite things and the stories that capture their personality. These might be meaningful memories, funny moments or simply the little things that always make you think of them.
-
Together, we will discuss everything you may want to include. That could be:
Favourite songs or hymns
Poems and readings
Memories from family and friends
Someone special speaking during the ceremony
Religious or non-religious elements
Personal stories and memories
I can also guide you through the order of service and help you decide what feels right.
-
I will then plan the ceremony and write the eulogy or life story using the memories and moments you have shared with me. I will liaise with the funeral director or other officiant to make sure everything works together. You will receive a copy of the eulogy or life story and we can make any changes you would like up to 48 hours before the ceremony.
-
On the day, I will be there to guide you through the ceremony and honour your loved one with the care, dignity and compassion they deserve.
Together, we will tell their story and remember the life they lived.
Make it personal
There is no single way to remember someone.
A funeral or memorial can include the things that made their life theirs:
Stories from childhood
Funny and memorable moments
Favourite music
Poems and readings
Family and friends sharing memories
Favourite sayings or traditions
The little things they loved
Moments that capture their personality
The most meaningful ceremonies are often found in those details.
Scattering or Interring Ashes
If you have chosen cremation and would like to scatter or inter your loved one's ashes somewhere special, I can also create a short, personal ceremony for you.
It can be a quiet moment with close family or something involving a wider group of people. We can talk together about the place you have chosen, the memories you would like to share and how you would like to say your final goodbye.
Remember their story
Every person leaves behind a lifetime of moments, memories and stories.
It would be my honour to help you bring those together and create a ceremony that feels true to the person you knew and loved.
