What’s in a name? Rather a lot. The name we are given at birth marks the beginning of our identity within our family and community, and lays the foundation of our identity out in the world. A naming ceremony is a wonderful way to welcome your baby into your wider family and community, to share stories, wishes and blessings, and to celebrate becoming parents!

FUNERAL & MEMORIAL SERVICE

The death of a loved one can be a major transition for those left behind. Intense and mixed emotions often arise. It can be challenging to make the simplest decision, let alone organise a funeral ceremony that honours the life of our dear one and supports those in shock and grief. An empathic celebrant can help create a safe space for stories and feelings to be shared, for difficult conversations to be had, for tears and laughter to flow, and for a heartfelt ceremony to be created. A funeral or memorial service is the sad farewell of a beloved, the celebration of a precious life and an expression of love and meaning that can ease the transition of loss.

My funeral & memorial ceremony includes:

• Loving and professional performance of your ceremony.
• As many meetings as needed to create a ceremony that meets the needs of you and your family.
• Assistance in choosing readings, rituals, music and other inclusions.
• Guidance in the formatting of your ceremony.
• I am a professional singer and would be honoured to sing at your ceremony.
