A good funeral often includes both laughter and tears. There will be sadness of course, but the happy memories and fond love for the person who has died live on in others.
Here’s an overview of the sort of things I’m able to do to make the funeral ceremony everything you’d like it to be:
- I can visit you in your home, a venue of your choice, or online to discuss the ceremony with you.
- We can decide what the content of the ceremony will be and who will be involved.
- I can help you to select suitable music, readings, poetry, or anything else that you wish to include.
- I can write a eulogy or tribute about the person who has died or can work with you to create one.
- Once written I send you a copy of the entire funeral ceremony for your approval.
- Between our first meeting and the funeral itself we can liaise by phone and email to edit any aspect of the ceremony until you are completely satisfied.
- I will arrive early at the funeral venue to meet you before the ceremony.
- At the funeral itself, I will conduct the ceremony and work with the funeral director (if there is one) to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
- Once the funeral is over, I can supply you with a printed copy of the ceremony for you to keep, and an electronic copy to email to friends and family.
I must stress that the content of the funeral ceremony is completely up to you and nothing will be included that you have not agreed to. If you or other members of your family or friends wish to take part in the service in any way, by taking on some of the readings, the tribute or even singing a song or playing an instrument, then that is easily arranged. I would liaise with them, as well as the funeral director, to make sure that there are no unwelcome surprises. I am simply there to facilitate your wishes and can create and deliver some or all of the service, as required.
