When someone close dies, it is often a difficult time as we want to farewell them with respect and dignity whilst, at the same time we are struggling with the grief of our loss. Just as we celebrate births and weddings, so should the end of a life be celebrated with warmth, dignity, gratitude and at times, humour. Everyone’s life deserves to be acknowledged and celebrated in a manner that suits their approach to life itself.
With farewell ceremonies full of love, families and friends gather to celebrate a life lived (no matter how long or short it was), to recognize the achievements they have made throughout their life and the impact on others. Regardless of the age of the deceased or the manner of their death, as a funeral celebrant, I support my families to say goodbye with compassion, warmth and dignity through a personalised ceremony.
