You can still have a celebration of life after a direct cremation 🩷

On Monday, I was invited to hold a small celebration of life for Paul and his family after he requested a direct cremation, minimum fuss and to be tucked in at . Paul was a quiet fella; a person that kept to himself and his family but had a deep love of socialism, nature, music and good food. Although he wasn't someone that wanted a big funeral, just to be cremated and placed somewhere he loved, his family still wanted to celebrate how important he was to them and to take a moment for those closest to him to be present whilst he was settled into his forever home.

Before tucking Paul in, we spent time in the Forget Me Not Field's remembrance room where we retold stories of Paul's life, laughed at memories, thanked him for his influence in life and listened to some of his favourite songs, all whilst he sat nicely front and centre in his heart shaped box covered in drawings and messaged from his grandchildren that loved him so. We then walked to Paul's plot in the sun playing You'll Never Walk Alone for this kopite before placing yellow roses with him; a tradition that Paul had with his wife, Nicky, giving her yellow roses every anniversary whilst playing the song Cowboy Junkies If You Were the Woman and I was The Man.

The sun was shining and everyone felt calm, at peace and present in the moment provided to hold space for their grief in a very Paul kind of way. It was honestly lovely ❤️

Direct cremation is a way people are finding best to help cut the huge costs of a funeral. But families aren't realising that you can still hold space for a celebration of life once your person's ashes are returned to you in a way that feels more personal, less rushed and more loving than a service at a crematorium. It doesn't have to be a small, grand affair. It can be intimate with no specific set order. It can a free flowing, peaceful time. This is where I hope to help more families in the future that wish to still acknowledge their love and gratitude for the life of their loved ones that are no longer here in a more organic and cost efficient way 💖

WHY HELLO THEREEEEEE!!

Have you missed me? 😉 Ready for blunt honesty? Life has been one busy mess recently and keeping my head above water has been the main goal most days so promoting my business on here has most definitely gone to s**t...

That's because I am just incredibly lucky to be able to say that business is thriving, Mum life is the most busy and fun it's ever been and being present in family life, especially with my Dad, is what's been needed most... So thinking of words and ideas that make myself look bloody marvellous to you all has been avoided like the plague until my head is less scrambled...

But that doesn't mean that I'm not here ready and waiting to connect with more gorgeous couples and families that fancy having me be part of their celebrations! This job gives me life, the spring in my step and gratitude beyond belief and long may it continue! I am so excited to see what this year holds for this business and finding new ways to get you lot excited to work with me... I've just needed time to process life one step at a time! So I will be back on here more, I will be answering all your questions and messages and I will be front and centre at any celebrations you would like for me to boss for you 😆🩷

Lots of love friends 😍

🖤💛❤️ ADELE & KATRINA ❤️💛🖤

On the hottest day in July, this pair of legends tied the knot at our fave, the Little Fox, with the most gorgeous guys Willo Photo capturing what a hilarious time we had!

Just before the ceremony started, Adele and Katrina shared a moment outside the venue listening to the Beach Boys and taking a moment together before being piped into the venue by a bag piper in homage to Katrina's Scottish roots. Here they were greeted by their 150+ guests that have been their biggest cheerleaders from the get go!

We laughed the whole way through the ceremony about their quirky little ways, hilarious stories and taking the absolute Mick out of Adele and her old man antics for most of it...! Please see photo two for Adele's face throughout the majority of the love story section 😂

They then sealed the deal with a ring exchange before tying the knot with 4 ribbons - one for each of them in Liverpool red and Aberdeen gold and black, and two more tartans to represent their families that have now come together as one.

It was a bloody marvellous moment for all involved and my hope is that every wedding from this day forward is as hilarious as this one 😍

🌿 THE MASONS 🌿❤️

Wedding season began yesterday with a beautifully intimate and family orientated wedding for my guys, Elisha and Harry!

We celebrated their commitments to one another with vows over a ring exchange and acknowledged their commitments to their little family throughout every aspect of the day, including a gorgeous little handfasting where Elisha and Harry made promises to Ivar and family life 🥹

The rain didn't dampen any spirits yesterday as these guys ensured confetti was thrown, BBQ food was still eaten and Harry had his 6th cocktail as soon as the ceremony ended!

I absolutely loved being part of yesterday's celebrations, so thank you Team Mason for allowing me the honour of marrying the s**t out of you both 🩷

✨🩷 NEW MILESTONE 🩷✨

This week I had the pleasure of delivering my 100th funeral in just under 2 yrs since my funeral celebrant career began! I actually can't believe I have been honoured to tell that many life stories... The imposter syndrome is real!

So to commemorate such an important milestone, I thought I would share what I have learnt so far on this wild ride...

✨ Every family has their own domestic experiences that need navigating around, but I have learnt the skills to make that as easy as possible and have my families feel at ease during these difficult times.
✨ I still cry. I am known with my regular funeral directors now as the person that delivers the biggest celebration of life but I will still cry with my families. It takes reading my scripts and listening to the chosen music over and over to try and avoid getting teary with them on the day.
✨ I have found my triggers. There are funerals that make me an emotional wreck for the rest of the day and from the family meetings, I know which ones they will be so I have learnt what to do to decompress after them. Detachment is harder than it looks.
✨ People have led the most interesting lives and I am able to delve deep into them. I am nosey but in awe of how humbling it is to see what people have created during their time.
✨ My job is important. I don't think I realised how important at first. I am literally guiding families through their first stages of grief. I have taught myself to not put too much pressure on myself to make everyone happy but knowing I am helping in some way doesn't half make me feel good.

There are obviously many more learning curves and a million more to come but for now, I just want to say thank you to everyone who has put their faith in me and my services over the past two years. I am so grateful to be able to do a job I love 🩷 here's to hundreds more!

🌿🌸🌻 CLAIR'S CELEBRATION OF LIFE 🌻🌸🌿

My first ceremony away from a crematorium. The first time I felt that like myself and the family really had the freedom to celebrate the deceased in a way that was appropriate to them. The first time I felt like I was making a bigger difference than ever before. And this was all because of how much Lauren trusted me to help make this day special for her Mum and the family.

It couldn't have been more perfect. More days like this please. More big celebrations of the life that was lived. More time to hold space for everyone's feelings. More beautifully raw moments with the people we love most.

Things to take away from this post...

💜 Funerals can be whatever you want them to be.
💜 Funerals can be held wherever you want them to be held.
💜 Funerals don't have to be rushed.
💜 Funerals can be a celebration.
💜 Funerals can be beautiful.

Thank you, Lauren, for allowing me to be part of this day. Your Mum would have appreciated every minute you put into making this special as you did. She wasn't wrong when she called you her beautiful girl because you really are, inside and out 🩷

🌟 NEW PACKAGE PALS 🌟🩷

After a few of last year's couples asked me to stay on for the whole day and help coordinatetheir guests and MC, and each one running so smoothly, I have got the bug to be part of the whole day with my couples! I mean, it's giving me major FOMO to not watch the whole day unfold after being the party starter... SO HERE IS A NEW PACKAGE TO ADD ON TO YOUR DAY IF IT TICKLES YOUR PICKLE! 😁

THIS PACKAGE CAN INCLUDE…

❤️ Communicating with Wedding Vendors, especially when the venues are a blank canvas and they may need direction
🧡 Keeping the guests warmed up and excited for the next parts of the day
💛 Directing guests throughout the day to where more fun is about to happen
💚 Being your go to if something needs changing, organising or someone needs to be told to pipe down if they are bringing down the vibe... It happens!
💙 Inviting guests who are making speeches to embarrass the s**t out of you or make you cry with their gorgeous words
💜 Announcing and leading games or extra special surprises that may take place and have you guests wishing the day would never end
🩷 Announcing the cake cutting
❤️ Announcing the first boogie as a married couple
🧡 Play bad guy and tell your drunk family and friends it's time to head home

The above is a rough idea of what can be covered within the prices given up top, but I am of course open to any other brilliant plans you may have up your sleeves for the day that you may wish for me to help facilitate. Name them, I'm game!

This package is also open to couples that may be having a ceremony with a registrar or religious figure that may want me to lead the fun times and bring the energy for the rest of the day! 🕺🪩

This is NOT a complete wedding planning package! Here for a fun time, not a stressful one 🥹 the above are things I know I will be able to cope with 😁

If this sounds like something you would like to add to your day, feel free to get in touch 💕

HELLOEYYYY! 🩷

Thank you so much to everyone who has decided to follow my page. I have more and more people asking about ways to send me a review so thought this would be a good way to do it on my socials.

Since there may be new people to this page who don't have a clue what I do, let me introduce myself!

I'm Jord, a Humanist wedding and funeral celebrant based in Merseyside. I'm a self confessed lover of karaoke, roast potatoes, Schitt's Creek and buying plants that don't tend to last more than a year in our house 😂

I have been a celebrant since 2019 and it has been the best career move EVER! I can't actually put into words how much I love this job. Since becoming a mum and a celebrant within months of each other, I have taken a lot of time to recognise what type of person I am and want to be for the people around me. I now ensure that my personal qualities are my superpowers and something to be embraced rather than hamper my growth. So what are these personality traits that make me shine not only as a person, but as a celebrant?!

I am (the majority of the time...) very positive; I am a big believer in gratitude and manage to find good in every situation, person and experience. So whatever my couples and families throw at me when it comes to ideas for their ceremony and celebrating, I am game.

I am extremely empathetic; I vibe off other's emotions and can become so engrossed with the stories and love you are sharing with me, that it helps me write the Ceremonies like I have lived through all those feelings and experiences with you. I will also cry with you so bare with me on that one...!

I am creative; this can p**s off my husband when my brain flits from one creative idea to another within weeks but this quality doesn't half bring out some cracking results too. Especially when it comes to my script writing and thinking of ideas of what to include in your ceremony to make it unique to you.

I am confident in myself; after a lot of work on myself in recent years, I know who I am, what type of celebrant I want to be and what couples and families I hope to attract. I am confident enough to tell your story exactly how you want it to be told, with love, laughter, and interaction with your attendees.

I love making people happy; don't get me wrong, I know my people pleasing boundaries but nothing warms my heart more than seeing people smile so much their face hurts. Being able to be part of one of my couples' happiest days and providing some light on one of the darkest for my families gives me so much joy!

If this sounds like your kind of person, slide into them DMs! I can't wait to start planning with you 🩷
