relevant information
The deceased’s favourite music is played when
entering the chapel, during reflection and on leaving.
At this first meeting I also provide sample readings
(poetry) and you are welcome to choose any other readings, music or
spoken words to make the service memorable.
I will meet you the next day to go through what I have
created and carefully check names and dates to ensure that I have
understood the information you have given me.
I will deliver the Celebration of Life at the designated
chapel or cemetery with sensitivity, compassion and in a
professional manner. I know that a well-delivered funeral is a
healthy stepping-stone on the journey of grief.
I will give you a copy, or multiple copies of the ceremony
to keep. You may not want to look at it for a while, but there will
be a day in the future when you feel ready to go over it
again.
I am available for unlimited contact via telephone, fax or
email so that we can fine-tune the ceremony to suit your
family.
I look forward to meeting you and working with you
creating a fitting tribute to your loved one.
