Funeral Celebrant’s have usually been drawn to this work by a strong realisation that this is a task which needs to be done - and done well ! . There is no rehearsal or second chance with a funeral.
Most are married and have families of their own and have experienced grief themselves and have felt that the funerals they attended were not always satisfactory and were not the type of farewell they were expecting for their loved one.
All are convinced that at the end of a person's life the tribute we pay deserves to be the best that human skill can present.

Celebrants like Terry have vast experience in performing many different types of family ceremonies such as weddings, renewal of vows and naming ceremonies for children. This ensures you get someone very competent in their delivery and preparation of a family funeral service.
Who else would be better qualified ?
Nothing can take away the shock of death, but a genuine and well prepared tribute eases the pain. Later recollections of a personalised ceremony is a constant consolation to the remaining families.

The starting point for all celebrant funerals is secular, i.e. non-religious.

The most important principle is that the words said express and celebrate the life of the person who has died, and, if that person had beliefs and ideals, this will be reflected in the ceremony.
It does not matter whether it is Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish or if ANY religion at all is involved.

What ever the Family wishes will be accommodated if at all possible. This may mean that the family do special readings and it can even be in another language.
The important point is that the family can have a funeral that they want and can say goodbye in their own personal, private and caring way.
