Pet farewells &
other ceremonies

Because the smallest paws can leave the biggest space behind.

Our animals become part of the family. When it’s time to say goodbye, I can help you create a personal farewell filled with the memories, funny moments and little quirks that made them completely themselves.

I also create naming ceremonies, milestone celebrations and other personal ceremonies.

My story

I understand this kind of goodbye.

I’ve always been an animal lover, and our pets have become a huge part of our family.

Our dog Phoebe was rescued from Corfu as a tiny puppy, and our cats Milo and Augustus came to us as kittens. We recently lost Milo very suddenly, and the loss left a huge hole in our family.

Remembering his funny, mischievous and loving ways has helped us through that grief, and it’s a big part of why pet farewells mean so much to me.

I’ll listen to your stories and help create a farewell that honours the place your pet held in your family and celebrates everything that made them unique.

Every animal has a story.
Let me help you tell theirs.

Milo, Julie's much-loved cat

Mischievous, loving and completely unforgettable.

Pet farewells and ceremonies for life's other moments

Your occasion. Your story. Your way. There is no set formula. Your ceremony might be heartfelt and emotional, relaxed and informal, light-hearted and funny, or a little bit of everything. It can be as traditional or as different as you would like it to be.

Types of ceremonies

  • Our pets are part of our families, and losing them can leave an enormous space behind. Having experienced this myself, I understand how meaningful it can be to come together, share the funny stories and favourite memories and simply say thank you for everything they brought into our lives.

  • A beautiful way to welcome a child into your family and celebrate the people who will be part of their life. We can include promises from parents, grandparents or chosen guardians, readings, music, family traditions and anything else that feels meaningful to you.

  • A significant birthday, anniversary, retirement or another chapter of life can be a wonderful reason to bring people together. We can tell the story of the journey so far, share memories and celebrate the people and experiences that made it special.

  • Starting something new deserves celebrating too. Whether you are opening a new business, launching something you have worked towards for years or marking an important new chapter, we can create a moment that brings people together and gives the occasion meaning.

  • Sometimes you may want to celebrate someone's life in a way that feels less formal than a traditional funeral or memorial. We can bring together their favourite stories, music, memories and people to create something warm, personal and true to them.

Make it personal

Your ceremony could include:

  • Favourite music

  • Poems and readings

  • Stories and memories

  • Family and friends taking part

  • Personal promises

  • Meaningful rituals

  • Photographs or keepsakes

  • Family traditions

  • Something completely unique to you

There are no rules about what your ceremony has to look like. If it matters to you, we can find a way to make it part of the day.

Whatever you're celebrating, let's make it meaningful.

Big or small, traditional or completely different, every important moment has a story behind it. I'd love to hear yours.
