Funeral Ceremonies

Jeanette conducts end of life ceremonies that are guided by the wishes, values and beliefs of the family and their loved one. The ceremony can include religious elements or none at all.

Jeanette will meet with family and friends to give them the opportunity to share their memories. She will then write a truly unique, memorable and beautiful tribute to celebrate and remember the life, lived.

Ash Scattering Ceremonies

Any ceremony can be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate a life, and a ceremony to scatter ashes is no different. It is entirely up to you and your family how best to commemorate your loved one. A ceremony to scatter their ashes will be meaningful and full of memories, showing how much they were loved.

The ceremony can be exactly what you need it to be, perhaps including songs, readings, and the sharing of memories. What is important, is that your loved one gets the send-off they rightly deserve.

Memorial Services

A memorial service is very similar to a funeral, except that the body is not present. This might be because the deceased chose to donate their body for medical research, for example.

A memorial service might also be held for a larger gathering of family and friends, following a smaller, more intimate funeral service and burial. It may also be conducted to include the scattering of their ashes at their favourite place.

{From our first introduction, it was clear that you were intent on delivering a very personal approach for us, which is exactly what we wanted.
{It wasn't an easy day in view of the circumstances but thankfully the service went along beautifully. Thank you again for your professionalism and kindness at this sad time.
{You delivered the life story perfectly, with both respect and humour. Your confidence was amazing, our friends said that they were hanging on every word.
{We would like to thank you for the way you delivered our father’s funeral service, the words you put together from our family stories were elegantly placed. You’re timing and professional manner were just top notch, we simply couldn’t have had anyone better to do this.
{Thank you so much for your guidance and support, from the moment you entered our home, we felt your empathy and warmth which helped us to relax. You guided us through the task in a friendly way and allowed us to ramble on whilst you gathered the information you required. On the day of the funeral everything went so well with you at the helm which was much appreciated.
{Such a difficult time, but made easier by a nice send off, a true celebration of her life.

Thanks for the lovely service to celebrate Ged’s life, it was perfect in every way. As you can appreciate, it was an extremely emotional day but as everyone said to me, it was a beautiful service and Ged would have been proud.

{I just wanted to thank you again for such a beautiful service. One of mum's neighbors said to me if someone hadn’t known mum you described her to a T. Although it was such a sad day, you made it so much easier. Even dad said the same. So once again thank you so much.
{Thank you so much for yesterday, it was a lovely service, my dad would’ve liked you! Thanks for your kind words to Maisie too.
{Actively listened and wrote a very personal, accurate and touching eulogy, executed and delivered beautifully.
