Most people don’t realise how much choice they actually have when it comes to a funeral. It isn’t all set in stone, and it doesn’t have to follow a set script.
You can choose where it happens, what’s said, the music, the stories, the feel of the day – it can be traditional, simple, alternative, light-hearted, or deeply spiritual. It can be anything you need and want it to be in anyway you need and want.
That’s why I always say to be people, if you’re thinking about funerals, speak to a celebrant first – ideally before you ever need to. Especially if you know the celebrant you’d like to work with. We can help you explore what’s possible, explain your options in plain, human language, and make sure your wishes are clear and honoured when the time comes.
And here’s the important bit folks need to know: celebrants and funeral directors work together as a team.
Funeral directors take care of the practical and logistical side; celebrants hold the personal, emotional, and storytelling side. Together, we make sure everything flows with care, dignity, and meaning and exactly as you need.
Funerals are about honouring a life and telling a story. Knowing your choices and knowing who’s there to support you can makes all the difference 🙏🏼
