Funerals

It’s my job to accompany you through the process of saying goodbye. Together we create a funeral ceremony that pays fitting tribute to the memories, achievements and legacy of the dearly departed loved one. With empathy and sensitivity I seek to help craft a ceremony that truly honours their life; bringing you solace and offering closure.

The process of composing a fitting eulogy requires delicacy and patience, deep listening and a certain amount of intuition. I meet with mourners to elicit memories and recollections which can be drawn upon to conjure an image of the person who is to be honoured.

Finding appropriate locations is something I like to assist with and there are many options beyond the typical visit to the crematorium. It is perfectly legal and absolutely beautiful to say goodbye to a loved one in a forest, by a lake or in a favourite setting, even at home… almost anywhere as long as the permission of the land owner has been sought.

There are many ways to bring closure and I can provide ideas and suggestions that will enable your friends and family to craft the most fitting adieu.
