'We need to grieve the ones we've lost
not to sustain our connection to suffering,
but to sustain our connection to love.'

The Potential of a Funeral Service
A funeral service provides
a structured space to navigate grief
and acknowledge the reality of your loss.
You celebrate your loved one’s life
and their unique qualities in a way
that feels authentic and meaningful.
The funeral service can also be an occoasion
for healing and emotional support as
you connect with others who share the loss.
About me
I have a background of communicating with warmth and authenticity: as a meditation teacher, a natural therapist and, decades ago, performing in children's theatre.
I chose the name 'Celebration of Love' for this business because, in my experience, this is what a funeral service is all about. In a heart-felt service participants can immerse themselves in the love they have shared with the person who has died.

How we work
I will work with you to create a funeral service that reflects how you want to celebrate your loved one.
We will meet initially to explore what you want to include
to create a meaningful service.
I then help craft the service order, lead the ceremony and support any other speakers.
