Funeral Service

1 Hour Duration

Saying goodbye to your loved is an important opportunity to not only say goodbye but to honour the life of the person that has died. During a funeral service, the casket/coffin is usually present.  The duration of a funeral service is generally between 30-45 minutes. There are many ways in which I can conduct a memorable funeral service, that will allow you to be involved as much as you feel able. The service will normally include up to 3 pieces of special music, a eulogy, family tributes and a time of reflection.  It can be as simple or as elaborate as you desire. The funeral service can be tailored to your needs and I offer both religious and non-religious service options.  The service may take place in a church, chapel, garden or graveside.

If a burial is taking place after the funeral service, a graveside committal may also be requested.

Graveside Committal

30 Minute Duration

For many families wanting their loved one to be buried, there will often be a funeral service followed by a burial at the cemetery of choice.  This can sometimes be unattended, where the Funeral Directors will arrange the private burial, but often family will wish to be present for a final farewell.  I am available to also conduct a Graveside Committal service should you request it.  This would usually include a special piece of music and a blessing, prayer or short reading. A graveside committal can take between 15-30 minutes.

Memorial Service

1 Hour Duration

​

Much like a Funeral Service, a Memorial Service is a special way to say goodbye.  A memorial service will most often not have a coffin present as the deceased may have been buried or cremated already.  This can vary depending on circumstances but holding a memorial service enables friends and family to come together and honour the life of their loved one, regardless of how much time has passed since the death.  The structure of the service can be similar to that of a funeral service. There are many ways I can help conduct a meaningful service to help move through the grief journey.
A memorial service can be held in many different locations; a church, chapel, garden, beach or the comfort of your home

Living Celebration Memorial Service

1.5 Hour Duration

These days there are so few moments we take to truly show honour to the people we love and in most cases it's at a Funeral that all the beautiful words are said and precious memories shared.  With a Living Celebration Memorial you can take the time to celebrate your loved one before they have passed away. Structured in a similar way to that of a funeral, your loved one is able to be present and enjoy being part of this special time. This can be a beautiful option for someone who has a terminal illness. This type of service can be held wherever you feel comfortable.
