Funerals & Memorials

Saying Goodbye with Love

Saying ‘goodbye’ is probably the hardest part of being alive, loving and caring for each other. But it is almost inevitable that at some time in our lives we will be involved in arranging a funeral or memorial service for that last ‘Goodbye’.

 

You may choose to hold a funeral at a crematorium, or perhaps a woodland burial. Increasingly, people may choose a direct cremation followed by a Memorial service. This last goodbye can be as unique and personal as the individual who has died.

 

Whatever you choose, I will support you to create a perfect ceremony that celebrates the life of your loved one. The ceremony can have religious content if you choose, family and friends contributing with music, poetry, or personal reflections – whatever you wish. There may be some time constraints depending on the venue, but I will be sure to explain and discuss this fully with you to aid your decision-making.

My Commitment to You

As your celebrant I’ll work with you to create a totally bespoke funeral ceremony. I will take time to write the ceremony, listening and talking to you, ensuring it reflects them in the way you want and respecting their own wishes. On the day of the ceremony I will support you and guide you through at all times. Your grief is yours and your loved one is unique; every life, however long or short, deserves to be celebrated.

Working with Funeral Directors

Finding the right funeral celebrant for you

Most families choose to work with a funeral director after a loved one has died, to ease some of the burden. I work closely with a number of funeral directors, but you are also welcome to contact me directly – it is completely up to you which celebrant you choose to work with, so I would encourage yo to find the person who’s right for you. I am always happy to chat and answer any questions you may have.

As soon as we spoke with Pauline we knew that she was the right celebrant for us. Pauline is a wonderful celebrant. From the initial stages planning our wedding, she was always approachable and offered advice and guidance. She was more than happy to work with our quirky ideas, weaving our oddities together to create a ceremony that was truly ‘us’. After listening to us, and with the completed forms, she created a beautiful ceremony.

Pauline spoke with us together and individually and from those conversations she supported us throughout including the writing of our vows. The ceremony was the perfect mix of fun, laughter, love and romance. On the day of the wedding celebration Pauline was positive, calm, understanding, professional, patient. Everyone agreed that it couldn’t have been more perfect. Thank you so much Pauline.

Pauline created a perfect service to celebrate the life of our Mum. Her gentle touch was reassuring and gave great strength to our family. Everybody attending Mum’s service said it was the best they had ever been to – a high compliment on such a sad day. Pauline expressed our love for our Mum through everything she said, and we thank her from the bottom of our hearts.

We just wanted to say thank you for making our day so special. The ceremony was perfect and flowed beautifully to create a magical moment for us both. Many guests have complimented how well everything went with lots of them particularly enjoying the hand fasting! Thank you so much.

Thank you for guiding us so well through what was a really lovely way to remember Michael, it really captured so much of what was important to him and his life, and included everyone who mattered to him.
