I can work with you pre-death or after your loved one has died. Some people like to plan for their own funeral before they have died, some leave it for their loved ones, sometimes with lots of ideas and sometimes with none. Whatever the situation, I will work with you to make the funeral into a celebration and send-off that fits.

We are all unique and that’s great. Whether you want a big send-off - be it a memorial, or a quiet family-only affair - I will work with you to make this happen. I’ll come to visit you where we can take time to discuss what’s required. I’d love to hear what’s important to you, hear about the your loved one, what made them tick, what made them laugh, who they knew and how they lived. For some this can also include memories of how difficult a relationship was. This can be a very emotional time, also a time to remember stories and events, maybe have a laugh and likely some tears. Lots of people find this time very supportive and comforting. This information will enable me to design a ceremony that really celebrates a life and enables you to say your goodbyes.

Anything I create will be in collaboration with you, so you can be sure it will be right on the day. It is my job to bring it all together for you, in whatever way works for you and your family.

I am also available to chat through other non-medical aspects related to life-limiting illness. Maybe you have just had a serious diagnosis and you want to start thinking about planning your funeral? Maybe someone close to you has been told they are seriously ill and you’re not sure how to act around them, what to say, how to help? I am available for support during these times and many more.

Get in touch to chat and see how I can help support you.
