There is grief, because we have loved. The person may no longer be physically here, but the relationship will continue, just in a different way. The funeral is so important to begin the journey of grief. You want warmth, respect, sensitivity, someone to sit with you, and rekindle memories, for people to gather to support the family in their time of sorrow.
If I were to be chosen by you, to officiate at the funeral as the Civil Celebrant, I would come and sit and be present with you, provide space for you to remember, as we talk together about your wishes for the memorial. If you do not want Christian input, or if you do, or want a bit of both, I am more than happy to abide by your wishes. As someone has worked in a funeral firm, I can answer any questions that you may have, about the wonderful Funeral Industry.
Most of us want to be able to make a difference, to leave the world a better place. For myself, to be in the lives of families, when they have had a loved one die, to be able to provide practical and compassionate care is what has drawn me to the Funeral Industry. Because, that is why I do, what I do; I care.
