...and then there were farewells and cherished memories B Celebrated
Goodbye’s
Goodbyes are always hard. There has been a big shift in how people wish to be remembered after they die and how their funeral celebrations reflect their life and personality. There are so many options available now: where and how you can be ‘laid to rest’, choice of transport, how you are celebrated, be it through a traditional funeral format, something a bit different or through ashes interment and memorial days.
What’s important is that the person who’s passed is centre stage of any celebration and that their celebration of an unique life that’s been led is compassionately mixed with the reality and tender mourning of loss.
What happens next?
I would meet with you in person ( or via video link if you preferred), to listen and learn all about your loved one and you as a family unit. I will want to know all about the life that’s been led, their interests and the impact they had. We will discuss all your ideas, wants, needs for the day and how they might be achieved ( sometimes this is done in conjunction with a funeral director). We will meet 2/ 3 times.
I will create a ceremony that tells their story, include their uniqueness, share their vibe, their songs, guide and support people to participate, honour those who are grieving and ultimately capture that vision and feeling you want for the day.
Bereavement is a journey of many paths, l can hold your hand some of the way.
