Funeral ceremonies

When someone dies, we want the chance to say goodbye, celebrate their life and look for the good that was brought to us by having that person around. Holding a ceremony to celebrate the memory of someone we have lost holds an important place in the process of handling grief, and is in itself a passage of rites.

While the need to mourn hasn’t changed, the ceremonies we use to help us through the process has. For some families, a funeral ceremony held at a crematorium is perfect, whereas for others perhaps a burial appears more fitting. Some families are comfortable with a memorial service instead.

No matter which way you choose to say good bye to your loved one, it is a celebration held with dignity, respect and much love. The focus need not be on the death of the person, but on the joy that the person brought to others.

In today's challenging times, celebrations can be held in such a way that they are experienced virtually as well as physically, and this is something that can be arranged with the aid of the crematorium or funeral parlour.
 
Lucy also offers a service where she can help you write the eulogy and order of service should you or a family member wish to conduct the ceremony itself - please get in touch for more information.
