FUNERALS &
CELEBRATION OF LIFE

"To live in this world you must be able to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go."

– Mary Oliver

Grief represented by birds and sunset

There are only two things in life that we can be sure of, birth and death. Despite knowing that a life will end, when it comes, the pain is excruciating. Losing a loved one can be agony.

​

Planning a funeral or a celebration of life for someone often feels overwhelming and this is where I can help. I will guide you through options, discuss details and be your safe space while you navigate these difficult waters. 

A funeral gives you an opportunity to honour and celebrate a life. I will work with you to create a personalised and heartfelt ceremony that truly reflects the life and values of your loved one. We all have our own story, and we all have our own way of wanting to share that story. I will spend time with you learning all I can about your loved one in order that I can create a ceremony that reflects the spirit and personality of that person. From sharing their story to incorporating special touches, my goal is to make the ceremony a meaningful tribute.

TESTIMONIALS

Tom's family

"We as a family would like to wholeheartedly thank you. I'm sure Dad would be proud, and as a funeral goes, it was a fairly jolly one. We will recommend you to anyone who asks.
You were fantastic. Thank you very much.."
