Via Katy Costello, Soul Midwife and funeral celebrant

‘I have never been to a celebrant led funeral before, it was bloody marvellous!!’ 😆🙏🏼🥰

Said to me by a gentleman at a service last week who was used to funerals conducted by a person of the church. This gentleman has changed his mind about the kind of send off he would like because he has realised how different and individual you can make your service. You don’t have to do what a funeral director tells you and you can do things as YOU wish to do them. Did you know you can do whatever you like for a celebration of life? 🕯

Having a celebrant to officiate a funeral allows for personality, character and heart. It allows for freedom, choice and uniqueness. You can also have a funeral service ANYWHERE, with or without the deceased present I might add 🙏🏼

A celebrant led service will always be a personal and heart felt one. It will always allow you the opportunity to create a loving space and to share all about the one you love in a way that is most authentic to them, and to you 💫

A celebrant as your host at a funeral/celebration of life/memorial can include religious elements if you wish. We can read prayer or scripture for example just the same as you may do at a service of a specific faith if you so wish 🕯

A celebrant works with you to write a loving script, tell your stories and finds the perfect words for you and your family. We don’t follow a set script, we create a new one each time for the souls we are saying farewell to. We do them justice, we get to know them, and you, and make sure the service is unique and exclusive to them 💫

A celebrant can be as traditional or as unorthodox as you wish. A funeral service can be as loud or as subtle as you want or need it to be. A memorial can have no songs or 10 songs if that’s what you want. You can have no other speakers or have everyone speak, the choice really is yours 🙏🏼 A crematorium service will limit you with time, but what you do in that time is still your choice.

If you have questions about using a celebrant please do get in touch 💫

We don’t know what we don’t know after all 🤷🏻‍♀️❤️

Broaching these conversations can be awkward or unnerving, but it doesn’t have to be. Death is a natural and inevitable part of life.
