What's Included
-
Initial consultation (in person or online)
We'll meet to talk about your loved one—who they were, what mattered to them, and what kind of ceremony would feel right. This can be face-to-face at a location that works for you, or via video call if that's easier.
-
Personalised ceremony writing
I'll take everything we discuss and create a ceremony that reflects your loved one's life, character and values. This isn't a template—it's written specifically for them, in language that feels authentic and true.
-
Ceremony delivery (20-30 minutes)
On the day, I'll deliver the ceremony with a calm, professional presence. You can trust that your loved one's story will be told with respect, warmth and care.
-
Liaison with funeral directors and venue
I'll coordinate with your funeral director and the venue to make sure everything runs smoothly. You have enough to think about—I'll handle the logistics.
-
Guidance on readings, music and tributes
Not sure what music to choose? Want to include a reading but don't know where to start? I'll offer suggestions and guidance to help you create a ceremony that feels complete.
-
Support before, during and after
From our first conversation to the day of the ceremony and beyond, I'm here to answer questions and offer support. If you need advice or just want to talk, I'm only a phone call away.
-
Keepsake ceremony script
After the ceremony, you'll receive a beautifully presented copy of the full script. This is yours to keep, share with family, or revisit when you need to feel close to your loved one again.
Who This Package Is For
This package works beautifully for families who:
Want a personal, professional ceremony without extensive meetings
Know broadly what they'd like and need a celebrant to bring it to life
Are working within a budget but don't want to compromise on quality
Value simplicity and clarity in the planning process
Need someone calm, experienced and compassionate to guide them through

Reach out by phone, email, or through your funeral director. We'll arrange a time to talk—usually within 24 hours.

-
Step 3: I create the ceremony
I'll write a personalised ceremony that tells your loved one's story with warmth and respect. You'll receive a draft to review, and we can make any changes you'd like.
-
Step 4: The ceremony
On the day, I'll arrive early to coordinate with the funeral director and venue. I'll deliver the ceremony with presence and care, so you can focus on being with your family.

Step 5: Your keepsake script
After the ceremony, I'll send you a keepsake copy of the full script—something you can treasure for years to come.
