Service

As a Funeral Celebrant, I can offer you a religious or non-religious funeral service.   It really depends on the kind of service you are looking for.  I will deliver the service to your wishes.

​How a Typical Funeral Service may look:-


  • Opening music
  • Opening words of welcome
  • Reading of a poem
  • Singing of a Hymn
  • Main Tribute or Eulogy to your loved one (between 5-10 minutes)
  • Moment of Reflection (sometimes with photos)
  • Announcements and closing thoughts
  • Words of Farewell (Closing of the curtains or lowering)
  • Closing words 
  • Music to leave to​



Most crematoria have the "Obitus" music system installed, or "Wesley" – (a computerised system that can play almost any piece of recorded music.  Some chapels have access to CD facilities.  Live music can even be added for a more poignant touch).

I will contact you to arrange a home visit.  During an informal interview, I will gather as much information about your loved one as I can; important dates, milestones in their life, achievements, family stories and anything you would like to be included within the service.



I will guide you through the ceremonial process; assist you with music choices, poems, readings and hymns if you wish these to be included.  Family members can offer their own tributes should they wish to do so, or the Eulogy / Tribute can be carefully written by me and will incorporate as many elements as you wish.


I will keep you constantly involved in the creation of the service.  Through the use of e-mail (if available); a Draft Order of Service will be sent to you within 24 hours of our meeting, followed by a Draft Service Script in full approximately 48 hours thereafter. ​This will allow you to make any final amendments to ensure you are happy with the whole service before I deliver it on the day.​
