Hilary Walker - Civil Funeral Celebrant

Hilary Walker - Civil Funeral Celebrant Because every life is unique, every funeral deserves to reflect this. You have a choice.

My name is Hilary Walker and I'm a trained Civil Funeral Celebrant available to conduct ceremonies within the north west area. With a background within the Registration Service I have many years of experience in delivering a variety of ceremonies including Weddings, Baby Namings, Renewal of Vows, British Citizenship ceremonies and Civil Funerals. I offer Civil Funeral Ceremonies on an independent basis having been trained and accredited with Civil Funerals Limited. A Civil Funeral is a service that reflects the wishes, beliefs and values of the deceased and their family and not the ideology of the Celebrant. The ceremonies I present focus on celebrating and reflecting the life of the deceased and the tribute I create is a respectful and highly personal memoir. I work closely with the family to achieve this, always offering a full copy of the text to be checked beforehand. The ceremony may contain music and readings chosen by the deceased or their family and whilst not a religious ceremony as such, some religious content, such as prayers or hymns, may be included. On a personal note I have found the level of satisfaction gained from being able to provide such services to be immense and extremely worthwhile.

Forever My Love

When I’m no longer around
do not doubt
I will still be loving you

I shall look for you
from my new home within the stars
remembering the simple things

Your zest for life
your unwavering positivity
the flash of your ever ready smile

I will never be convinced
that our brilliant bond
could ever die

So I will live on
inside your kind heart
inside your intelligent mind
always at one with your familiar body.

Forever my love.

Beautiful words shared by a daughter at her father's funeral:

'May love linger like light even after the sun has slipped below the horizon as death is both an ending and a shadow that teaches us about the brilliance of what came before.'

Endings & Beginnings

When all is said and done
And the light has finally dimmed
Send my soul to a higher dimension
Pay the ferryman for my sins.

At journey’s end we dream of tranquillity
A hollow chasm of contemplation and rest
A time for forgiveness, truth and redemption
A sense of knowing we were blessed.

And if someone’s God should greet me
As my loved ones gather by my bed
I will be grateful for this lifetime
When all is done, and all is said.

I long to sleep for centuries
Within an aura of wellness and light
To feel I’m floating timelessly
Out of body, out of mind, out of sight.

For if all there is, is nothing
And if all there is, is space
How fortunate, how lucky are we
To be part of the human race.

So, here’s to us, the survivors
The ones who’ve touched the sky
Who’ve endured through all the seasons
Without knowing how or why.

I ‘d like to think that at the end of our days
We’ve only just begun
We will live again, perpetually
When all is said and done.
