Funeral Service
The funeral I will deliver is about how you want to say goodbye to your loved one, there is no rule book on what you should or shouldn’t do or say on the day. You can include whatever you want.
Writing and officiating a funeral service is my biggest privilege and honour.
Delivering a colourful, uplifting, and positive service that makes you smile at the fond memories of your loved one is my aim.
The loved one you have lost holds a special place in the hearts of those that will be at the service. The service we create together will bring memories that make them smile and remember and cherish the time spent together.
As your funeral celebrant, I will write and deliver the service with sensitivity and care. Supporting you through the journey as we celebrate their life.

If you want a service that is individually crafted and personalised that includes lots of personal touches, with family involved, I will help you arrange this. I am here to support everyone who is involved, co-ordinating everything making sure the service runs smoothly and exactly the way you want it.

Music
Music at a funeral can evoke wonderful memories. The lyrics of favourite songs might express feelings and sentiments about the person and the life they lived. Whether classical, modern or a mix of both,
Reading
A reading at a funeral offers comfort, reflection and a way to honour your loved one. They can be personalised and include special memories, funny stories and a wonderful way to remember them and the impact they had on you and others.
Dress code
It’s no longer a requirement to wear black for a funeral, unless that is what you want. Why not consider a dress code which incorporates your loved one’s favourite colour as a way to remember and honour them.
Photo Collage
Have a collage of photos portraying their life, from the day they were born until now and all the important milestones along the way.
You may want to write your own tribute or have been asked to say a few words at a service. I’ve put together a guide to writing a tribute that I hope may help, together with a selection of poems and songs that you can include.
“Where words fail, music speaks. In moments of loss, let the gentle sound of music bring comfort, healing, and a peaceful remembrance of those we hold forever in our hearts.”
