Planning a funeral can feel overwhelming. Here are some suggestions for poems that you may find helpful. I have included the first line of each to make them easy for you to find:
Dead by Winifred Mary Letts: "In misty cerements they wrapped the word"
Death is Nothing at All by Henry Scott-Holland: "Death is nothing at all"
Funeral Blues by W.H Auden: "Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone" (used in Four Weddings and a Funeral)
Remember Me by Christina Rossetti: "Remember me when I am gone away"
Do Not Stand at my Grave and Weep by Clare Harner: "Do not stand at my grave and weep"

Five ways to add to a funeral to honour your loved one
1. Choose to play their favourite song - your celebrant will explain why it was significant
2. Reflect their hobbies and interests - you can lay significant objects onto the coffin lid
3. A photo montage - send a selection of pictures to your Funeral Director and they will put together a montage of images
4. Involve family and friends - relatives and friends can be pall bearers or give a reading
5. Plant a tree in their memory

Five more things to make your celebrant-led wedding unforgettable:
1. A wedding certificate designed for you incorporating your wedding colours
2. Music - choose your favourite songs and your celebrant will weave them into your love story
3. Have a theme: Is Jane Austen your muse or are you a Star Wars warrior? Incorporate your shared interests into your ceremony
4. Honour people who can't be there: We can set up an area for family members who have passed away and include them by name in your ceremony
5. Make it unique: I will craft a ceremony just for you; fresh each time. I can provide a presentation copy of the script for your memory box

Five things about a Celebrant-led wedding that will make your day unforgettable:
1. Freedom - have your wedding ceremony at a time, date and venue of your choice
2. Get creative - write your own vows
3. Tell your love story - a Celebrant will collect all the details that make you a great couple
4. Have a ritual - a handfasting, sand ceremony or wine ritual are beautiful elements to a celebrant-led service
5. Involve the family; including your pets!

Pets. An integral part of our family unit. They love us unconditionally and support us through tough times. They make us laugh and connect us to the wider community via other pet owners. They deserve a dignified send off when their time comes. Pet funerals are important for processing grief and closure. Choose a pet cemetery or a home burial; I will craft a service just for you to honour the passing of your beloved animal companion. (Picture: kaizenaire.com)
