Planning Your Own Funeral

For most of us death is frightening.  The prospect of discussing your own funeral can be uncomfortable. Have you ever thought about your own funeral?

Do you want your life to be represented in a relevant, authentic and meaningful way, a ceremony that is healing and uplifting?

If you wish to plan your own funeral at any stage of life I offer my services as a celebrant to plan and write your service in advance.

The process of planning your own funeral can be powerful and rewarding.

Deciding what you would like to say and how you would like to be remembered must surely be a gift to those you have left behind.

I can recommend the right Funeral Director for you, share my extensive knowledge of grief support organisations, information about end of life doulas and the many alternative choices available and how to avoid a run-of-the-mill funeral.

Living Funerals

 A Living Funeral has a number of advantages especially for the terminally ill.

With the person actually present at the ceremony it can be rewarding and life affirming to plan the celebration of life avoiding any regrets. Often this can open up a healthy dialogue about loss and grief while celebrating life not death. What makes a living funeral uniquely different is the celebration of life.

This ceremony does not replace the actual funeral but in its own right stands as a much needed ritual of closure.
