DEATH and DYING

When a beloved friend or relative dies we have the urge to gather to share our grief and to remember and celebrate his or her life. A still birth, the loss of a child, the decision of a friend to take his own life – such events leave us numb with pain and helplessness.

In a memorial ritual we can express the sadness and the contradicting feelings as well as honour the life of the deceased. I will listen to you and draft a ceremony which includes your own contributions, readings and music.

Whether you want to scatter the ashes by a river or tree, have a simple ceremony in a church hall or outdoors, or an earth burial at the cemetery, we will find a dignified way to say good bye to the departed.

Planning Your Own Death and Funeral.
Making plans for your own passing and funeral is a chore easily postponed.

We are a death denying society. Talk of death is unwelcome. We put our hands over our eyes and consider talk about death morbid; worse, it’s likely to bring it on. One of the reasons why people don’t talk about death is that no one will listen.

If you are thinking about the end of your own life and your own funeral I will listen to you. I will help you to write down your wishes on how you want your funeral to be carried out.
