I love hugging couples I’ve just married, especially people I’ve known for quite a while. But this looks so awkward that it’s funny!

People often say, “I couldn’t do your job - I would cry too much.” I have developed great strategies to keep it under control, but sometimes it’s the small, unexpected things that catch you out. I love funeral Celebrancy work.

A funeral or memorial can be held at a private home with just invited guests there. I wrote and delivered the eulogy, family members spoke and banjo music was played. Guests had a ‘cuppa’ and admired the incredible view. It was authentic, heartfelt and simple.

I was asked yesterday if this is a busy time for celebrants. She assumed it would be quieter, leading up Christmas. Definitely not!
