Planning and carrying out a funeral service can be overwhelming for the family. I can take the stress out of this difficult time by making the arrangements. These options allow the freedom and the creativity to honour your loved one. You can make changes to the arrangement whenever you need too.
Living Funerals:
This is a type of memorial performed while the person is still living. Having the opportunity to plan one’s own funeral, gives a sense of control. This is often a much needed comfort. Loved ones are able to pay their respects, say their goodbyes on their own terms and it’s a time to reflect on one’s life.
Home Funerals:
For cultural, traditional, or personal reasons, the client of the family may wish to have a viewing, wake or funeral in their home. (More below).
Pet Wakes:
Before going ahead with disposition plans, some owners may want to honour their furbaby with an at home pet wake. Setting sacred space can take place indoors or outdoors and decorated.
Celebrations of Life:
While it's important to celebrate the life of the deceased, the main purpose of a celebration of life is to allow the family to say goodbye, give closure and begin the healing process.
What I will do:
Did you know…
As a trained Home Funeral Guide, I directly support the family with post-death care (washing, dressing and cooling the body) and with the funeral instead of the family working with a funeral director. All the decisions are made by the family.
