Civil funeral ceremonies which perfectly reflect your loved one's nature, life and personality
Funeral practices in the UK have undergone noticeable changes in the last few years; there has been a clear shift away from the impersonal, standardised and religiously-led funeral services of the past.
Modern funerals allow the grieving family a wider range of options that were unheard of years ago. These modern funerals are often referred to by a number of different terms; non-religious funerals, secular funerals, unaffiliated funerals etc. I am professionally trained to lead all of these types of funeral ceremony and Celebrations of Life.
Most aspects of today’s funeral ceremony come down to personal choice; families may well take an active role in choosing the music and readings and may wish to speak about the person who has passed away. The primary task of the professional funeral celebrant nowadays is to assist families in creating a funeral that fully reflects the person’s nature, life and personality.
A Civil Funeral can provide an opportunity to publicly express the different feelings and emotions that well up when a loved one dies; it may well recognise the grief of the family’s loss, maybe his or her understanding of the meaning of life and death but most importantly, provides an opportunity to tell the loved one’s story, provide anecdotes and show the love that still remains.
FEEDBACK FROM MY CLIENTS
Diane
David,
Thank you so much for today, you turned a day that we were all dreading into the perfect Celebration of Life for dad.
Your words were not only comforting but they reflected dad's life exactly.
If he could have been there he would have been so proud of himself.
Michelle
David,
Today was so meaningful, Grandma was a much loved person and she lived life to the full.
Not many people knew that she made spitfire propellers in Manchester during World War 2, they do now though!!
Also we would like to thank you for leading us all with The Lord's Prayer, although Grandma was not really religious, she always said that's what she wanted at her funeral. Thank you!
Tony
David,
Mum was always celebrating her life David, she loved nothing more than to have a good time, your words portrayed mum in a way we never thought possible.
The Celebration of her life really showed that although really enjoying her life, mum was always there for us no matter what.
The way you spoke was both eloquent and sincere and we cannot thank you enough.
