Funerals & Celebrations of Life

Imagine capturing the essence of your loved one through forgotten tales and
moments of grace that reminds everyone how unique and special they were and will
continue to be. This is a time to allow the joy and wonder of this precious life to flow, to
be shared, inclusive of the path of healing.​

As your Funeral Celebrant, we will walk through various options.
A funeral is often considered a more traditional format for the beloved which
typically takes place soon after death either in a funeral home, church or other
venue. Planning can include rituals, special dedications, people sharing
memories and love… …all contributing to the healing process.

Home funerals are also considered where the individual and their family have
embraced the idea of allowing and holding space for those who wish to
take precious time after the death for some reflection and solitude with the individual.
I am able to share how this can unfold should this be an option.
Too often the ‘after death’ period can seem somewhat mechanical, rote and rushed.
This sacred time may also include tending rituals such as washing and caring for the
body in preparation for burial or cremation. Time with your loved one can also be taken
wherever the death has occurred..whether at a care facility, hospital or home…take a
breath, take some precious time …

An End of Life Celebration is often looked upon as a more casual celebration without
the traditional formality. This may allow time to plan for family and guests to travel,
and arrange for more of a informal gather with story telling, sharing your love and
reflection of the life and times of the person who has died.
​
There are those who may wish to have a gathering or Celebration of Life prior to their
death – where family and friends can enjoy memories, stories and possibly hear some
very large tales that may have been forgotten over the years, with those who love and
are loved by the Guest of Honour.

Ceremony is in memory and in celebration of someone who made this world brighter and life far more meaningful.​

Life is what you celebrate, all of it….even its end.
