Funerals

If you are reading this page then my heart goes out to you. I send you nothing but love compassion and strength for the coming days. Losing someone close is the very worst and hardest thing we must deal with in this thing call life. I have dealt with grief from a very young age. My Grandparents when I was very young and then heartbreakingly lost my brother when I was twelve. This profoundly affected the whole family dynamic. However, it has shaped me, and made me the person I am today.  I think it’s where my humour and empathy comes from.

 I was too young and inexperienced to write my brothers’ or my dad’s Eulogy but when my Mum sadly passed, I wrote hers by myself.  It was very well received. My brother and sister were especially grateful to all the memories I had included that they themselves had forgotten. Memories that brought forth many tears of joy and laughter. I was too distraught to read it myself, so we obtained a local celebrant to deliver it for us.

 Now as an adult and a mother and a celebrant. I want to help console people. I know how tough it can be.  If I can make hard times easier for someone, then I will.  I will always have a kind word or a shoulder to cry on for people in need. I offer empathy, support, and comfort. I have included a eulogy I wrote for my best friend under the heading Sarah’s Eulogy on this website.

 I am happy to work with you and I am committed to listening to your story. Committed to finding out the exact tone you require for the service. I will spend time with you and discover all the wonderful things about your loved one that you would like to be included. I will endeavour to capture the essence of your loved one and give them a fitting eulogy. A celebration of their life. It will be my pleasure to assist you giving your loved one a memorable tribute. It is imperative to me that they personally would be proud and happy with their own eulogy. I can assist you with readings, poems, and any other requests to make the service more personal, merciful, and ultimately more beautiful.
