Why have a Celebrant-led funeral?
One of the biggest benefits of a celebrant-led funeral is their openness and inclusivity. They allow to you to have a ceremony that is a true reflection of your loved one, a bespoke ceremony that completely encapsulates their love, style, personality and interests. Anything is possible. It can have the content you want – which may be religious, humanist, secular or on a specific theme.
Celebrants are trained and experienced in creating and officiating personalised ceremonies. We spend the time getting to know you, your family and the person who has passed away. We can share with you options for your funeral, and these aren’t always what you think!
So often families get channeled into the ’20 minutes at the crematorium’, or the ’20 minutes at the graveside’ formula. Now, for many families, this is right for them, but for an increasing number of families, there are so many other ways of saying goodbye to your loved one. You have far more options than you probably realise.
There is a growing funeral revolution.
Imagine having a ceremony in a woodland, a hotel, the beach, the gold club, pub, your own home? A ceremony that is not restricted by time constraints. A ceremony where the people present aren’t shuffling around, waiting to be ushered in, ushered out, everyone feeling the need to be solemn, quiet, mournful. A ceremony where your loved one can be present, there with you all. A ceremony in a place that feels right for you, them and your family. A ceremony that just flows and is all about the beautiful, meaningful life they had and shared with you all. A ceremony that truly represents their love, style, personality and interests.
I specilise in creating and officiating very unique, bespoke funerals. There are so many things that are possible. I will be blogging lots more on this topic, so do keep an eye! Please do contact me to find out more about the options and choices you have. You would be amazed at how much ownership you can take and how easy it is to move away from the more traditional idea of a funeral, to something that is indeed special, unique and totally fitting for the person you have lost.
