WHAT TO EXPECT
affirming, even joyful celebration of life..
An Independent Civil Funeral Celebrant is a trained and certified professional who will work with you to provide a civil funeral service which is personal to you, reflecting the wishes of the bereaved, and the life and personality of the deceased.
A civil ceremony may be non-religious, reflect your own beliefs, or include hymns and prayers. You may wish to select music which holds memories for you, photographs to be shown for a moment of quiet reflection, or poems and readings. There is no set rule for how the ceremony runs so you have the freedom to make a service that is significant for you.
Tributes and eulogies for your loved one may be read, and this can be undertaken by the Celebrant on your behalf or by any member of the family or friends it is entirely up to you.
A Civil Celebrant can conduct funeral services at crematoriums, at the funeral parlour or graveside. They can lead ceremonies at memorials, internments, and scattering of ashes.
Planning a funeral may be more than you feel you can cope with right now... it’s so important to get it right, isn’t it?
Because funerals matter.
comforting ceremonies...
Jan will contact you to arrange a time to visit. Usually this is within your home with other family and friends but may also be at the Funeral Directors, or via online or phone should you be unable to meet locally.
Taking time to talk through with you how things work and what you would like to include in the service, Jan will begin to build a picture of your wishes and explain any options available to you.
Jan will help you write your own eulogy or create one from the memories and thoughts which you share with her. She will talk through options for music, poetry, & readings.
She will create the service ensuring the ceremony contains your own special touch and is written with sensitivity and care.
You will be included at each stage of the service creation, so it truly is your service your way.
Jan will liaise with your Funeral Director throughout and ensure everything is organised and ready at your chosen venue.
