Knowing your options...
It is now over ten years since I qualified as a Civil Funeral Celebrant, and I have been so honoured to have been able to help many families in creating a service of farewell that reflects their loved one. There are many facets to the service that I offer families, and just to let you all know of the options, I have listed them below: Civil Funeral Celebrant

I can help you with planning, and creating content for your loved ones Service of Farewell. I can help with music, poetry, and reflection choices. Afterwards, I will furnish you with a ‘keepsake’ copy of the service if you wish Interment of Ashes
If you wish to inter your loved ones ashes in a cemetery, or place in a columbarium wall, I can help you with writing a service which can, incorporate elements (Music, poems or readings) of the earlier funeral ceremony. Scattering of Ashes
A Scattering ceremony is a very personal way to disperse your loved ones ashes in a place that had a special significance or meaning in their lives. It can include elements of an ashes interment service. Memorial service
A memorial service can take place a short time (generally a couple of weeks) after a loved one’s passing, where there are no remains present. Generally these services are held in a neutral venue - i.e., family home, a hotel, or community hall. Service of Remembrance
A Service of Remembrance generally happens some time after a loved one has passed, and can include many elements of a service of farewell. Crematorium funeral service
If your loved ones wishes are to be cremated, the service of farewell can be held in a Crematorium Chapel, where the life is celebrated in a dignified and meaningful fashion.
