This is the most commonly picked package and can include, but is not limited to the following...your day , your way.
Pre Ceremony Consultation: I will contact you, to arrange a home visit within 24-48 hours of your enquiry. This is typically at your home unless you state otherwise. This is an informal visit where we sit together and share stories about your loved one over a cup of tea or coffee. I will sit and listen and may jot down some notes. You do not need to prepare anything for this, or if you or your loved one has, even better. It, just gives me an idea of the person your loved one was and all about them. We have no pressure time limits on these visits and I will be around for as long as you need me with you, before you come to say farewell.
Writing Scripts: I will go home and draft your tributes, eulogies, and a ceremony to reflect your wishes and wants. This is returned to you usually over email, so no pressure to face people when you are not feeling up to it. If you are unhappy with your first draft, this is fine, if you wish to amend, we can keep working on this until you are completely satisfied, that this is a true reflection of your loved one. Perfection takes time.
Content Guidance: I will assist you in finding whatever you need, the perfect poems, sound tracks, photos for a slideshow, and symbolic gestures, all that you may want to include in your day of farewells. This may involve the lighting of a candle, blowing bubbles, releasing a dove or balloons, or simply just a fond farewell.
Officiating the Day: I will offer to lead the day if this is what you wish for. I will welcome in guests, show them to their seats, and coordinate the full day so you do not have to worry about a thing.
Managing the Tributes: If your family has a tribute for their loved one - I am happy to facilitate this. I will stand alongside you, while you read this or sing them a song etc. If you are finding it difficult to read, I am more than happy to take over this, to ensure your beautiful words are heard. If you wish for just me to read your tribute, I am also happy to do this for you, and I will do so with as much grace and compassion as if they were my family member.
*Post Service: These are optional extra services however, I am able to give you a personalised copy of the service as a keepsake. Facilitate the collection and interment of your loved ones ashes and assist you with your future wishes with these. I am happy to accompany you to visit your loved one, if this is something you are not wanting to do alone. If I have not mentioned something that you would like in your service package, I am happy to facilitate to the best of my abilities, including liaising with your chosen Funeral Director, But most importantly for me, I am a companion for life. For as long as you need me, I am contactable. Sometimes at the loneliest time of your life, you just need somebody to turn to, and I can be that somebody to you.
