Our Role As Your Minister / Celebrant
We strongly believe even though we may never have met the person we're holding the funeral for, it doesn't detract from what we can offer - we can still hold a wonderful, personalised funeral. The ceremony is all about them and you their community coming together to give thanks for and to celebrate their life, to remember them, to laugh and cry.
To be invited to be part of something so important and intimate as a funeral or memorial for anyone is a great privilege and responsibility. Our intention is to be a rock for you and the whole proceedings - to remind you of the Presence of Love and Compassion, to help you start to come to terms with your loss as you say good-bye to your loved one.
We're there to hold both the structure of the service, and be there for you as you pay tribute to your loved one. Sometimes family and friends want and need to participate in the ceremony, and sometimes family and friends don't want to do or say anything other than be there. We're all different and our needs are different.
We'll support you with whatever you need, without judgement and with absolute acceptance of how you're feeling. Whether you want to be taken care of in your grief and sadness and have someone else close make the decisions, or whether you want to be fully involved in all the arrangements and actively participate in the funeral, we take our lead from you. It's our intention to hold every ceremony with gentleness, calmness and caring - to respond to what you would like.
