Roucan Loch is a stunningly beautiful crematorium for those closer to the Borders.

Respectfully sent this chap on his way today … free to fly ❤️

‘Sometimes, when the sun goes down, It seems it will never rise again...but it will.
Sometimes, when you feel alone,
It seems your heart will break in two...but it won't.
And sometimes, it's hardly worth carrying on...But it is.
For sometimes, when the sun goes down, It seems it will never rise again, But it does.’ Frank Brown

This is one of the most powerful posts . We are human beings living in a very difficult, fast evolving and somewhat strange world. Our lives do matter but if they stop mattering enough and no one is 'asking' ............... please watch it to the end of the video. Every Life Matters

If a member of your family choose a direct or unattended cremation, you may be left with a feeling of longing, a need to gather with just those closest to you and your deceased in a more symbolic way. Reach out to discuss how and where those symbolic ceremonies can take place because you really do have the freedom to choose, just as your loved one had the freedom to choose the way their final day on earth was taken care of.

Sometimes the smallest words are the hardest to say....

A vocation that has no reverse….. no giving up!

Life & Death does not live in the 9 to 5 world - neither do I.

If I have to work through a night to ensure a service is exactly as it should be then I work that night…. I’ll catch up on sleep because when we’re gone, we’re gone. I’ll go for that hike if I need to reset my emotional battery.

I feel my work, I’ve trained hard and work hard to get where I am and I’m comfortable to say I’m fairly proud of myself. As like many, my own personal journey isn’t always easy behind the scenes but those experiences ensure this - I don’t just ‘do ceremonies’.

They made me so emotional and put me in a real reflective mood. People often ask about the path that brought me to this vocation, there aren't enough words to explain.

Thanks also to Clare Gelderd for capturing my mood on the Cumbrian weather yesterday 🤣 Seize the day every day folks ! The Birds & The Bees - Celebrant Services, Cumbria & North West Kerrie Low

Its an interesting concept that some people think 'you aren't coping with workload' or 'you are disorganised' or 'not balancing work with life' just because they see me post things at night and work weekends.

The truth is, I am self employed and I can set my hours to suit.

Love, Life and Loss certainly does not exist on a 9 - 5 basis. I never know what the next phone call will bring.

My couples and families can connect with me whenever they need to, if I am available, I will respond, If I am not then I will respond as soon as I can - because I can and because I want to.

What people who make assumptions do not see is the behind the scenes of my work. Possibly they may not understand that creativity is also something that doesn't just switch on and off at 9 - 5 because their work is routine, schedule or template driven.
My work is completely different every single time I pick up a call or an email..............the work that follows will make EVERY single meeting and ceremony different.

So, if that means my brain doesn't want to or finds itself unable to write the right thing or create the right ritual during daylight hours then I will down tools and go for a hike or I may go shopping or to see a friend for a coffee, heck I may even stay in bed and have a good sleep until I am ready, reset and restored to create what is right.

It has been said before and I am sure it will be said again 'It doesn't matter how I get there, as long as I get there'.......... and so on that note, I shall now go to bed with a full heart after a beautiful, private ashes ceremony today, ready to deliver a Lake District wedding tomorrow in the afternoon then write a funeral in the evening after a hearty dinner.

If you ever wonder why people choose to work the way they do - just remember ............You do you, I do me and I will serve all those who trust in me to care about their ceremonies and services with a genuine passion for The Birds & The Bees - Celebrant Services, Cumbria & North West because it is not 'Just A Job' to me. xx
