FUNERALS

I will do everything I can to create a funeral that truly reflects the person who has died. My experience as a therapist and bereavement counsellor has taught me the power of listening

Assisting with music choices if required
Guiding you in the selection of readings and poems. - I have a number of examples to show you
Allowing you to tell me about the deceased in order that I can reach the essence of them and compose a tribute which can be delivered by myself, a family member or friend
Discussing any more unusual ideas or visuals to be incorporated
Conducting the funeral ceremony
Supporting and guiding the mourners on the day

The Funeral Director puts you in touch with me or you contact me direct
We speak on the phone and arrange a time for me to meet you
We meet, usually at your home though a room at the funeral director can be arranged if preferred. These visits usually take about 1-2 hours. During this informal meeting I will try to learn as much as possible about the person who has died and also all your wishes for an appropriate farewell.
If I am writing a tribute I will send you a copy to check
If you are writing and delivering the tribute I will encourage you to run it past me.
