My Service to You

My first contact with a bereaved family is usually over the phone. This is generally through your Funeral Director, and you can request me specifically, or contact me direct. We will arrange a time for me to come to your home and meet with any family and close friends who would like to attend. I will talk you through the Service, including the time we have in the chapel or at the graveside, any music you would like, readings, and who would like to deliver a Eulogy. I can do all or some of this, whatever you need. I will organise the music and/or hymns and liaise with your Funeral Director for the printing of the Order of Service and keep in touch with you leading up to the day to ensure we have everything we need.

On the day of the service, your Funeral Director and I will attend to everything for you. We want to ensure that this special ceremony of farewell is exactly what you need, and that you feel looked after so you can grieve and focus on your loved one. I will carefully 'hold the space' for you, your family and friends and deliver with care and consideration the bespoke Service I have written for the person who has died. I put a great deal of time and thought into writing a Service, feeling their character and personality come through the stories you have told me in our meeting. 

Each and every one of us contributes to the world during our lifetime, in small or large measure, and often our impact is unknown. The only certainty in all of our lives is that one day we will die, and it is an incredible privilege to participate in the ceremonies of so many when their time here comes to an end.
