Funeral & Memorial Services
As a funeral celebrant, I conduct funeral services in the main at crematoriums or graveside at cemeteries. However, there have been services at golf courses, in parks and I know of one held on a beach.The main arrangements of course will be done through your chosen Funeral Director and if you wish, you may nominate your own celebrant to the funeral director and they would be very happy to accommodate your wishes.A funeral service need not be a solemn occasion although the very nature of losing a loved one almost always causes great grief. It is an opportunity to share all of those special memories of a loved one and often they are memories that will make you smile or laugh. When planning a service you can insert all manner of things to reflect the life of the loved one you have lost and nothing is inappropriate in terms of music, symbols or words if they reflect their life.
Hi Kris,Just a short note to say a big thank you for Mum’s funeral. Not only were we very pleased with the service at the crematorium, but all your help, detail and caring thoughts when coming to our home to prepare for the service, were greatly appreciated.We had a large number of very favourable comments on the service from both local family and visitors from out of town, with comments like “the most personal and appropriate funeral service they had ever attended”.On behalf of our families, please accept our greatest gratitude for your effort.Yours sincerely, Peter MorasDear Kris, Thank you for everything. You are now a part of our family. You made dad’s funeral memorable.Love The Davis Family
