A living funeral offers someone the rare opportunity to hear their own stories, memories and tributes while they are present to appreciate them.
I will meet with you, hear your story, learn about your life and create a ceremony that reflects who you truly are. It can include favourite readings, gentle spiritual touches or simply personal words.
This service provides connection and a meaningful moment to share love, gratitude and reflection with the ones you love.
Some people choose to have living funerals as a way to honour and celebrate their life while
they are still here. These gatherings give them the opportunity to share meaningful moments
with loved ones, express gratitude and say goodbye in their own time, on their own terms.
Often chosen in the face of terminal illness or advanced age, a living funeral can create
lasting memories filled with love, openness, and reflection. It also allows space to address
unfinished matters, share final wishes, and shape a farewell that truly reflects who they are,
offering comfort to both the individual and their family while easing the emotional burden
later.
Whether you’ve been referred by a funeral home or reached out directly, the process begins with a complimentary 30-minute consultation which can be face-to-face meetings, phone calls, or virtual sessions via FaceTime or Zoom.
We will meet and weave together a personalised tribute to include music, readings and any other personal touches that you would like to add to the ceremony.
When the time comes, I will liaise with your family to finalise the funeral arrangements, meet them upon arrival and officiate the service on your behalf.
