Memorial Services and Sacred Occasions
Memorial Services
Commemorating the life of a loved one dear to you can include music they loved, readings and eulogies from family members and close friends.
In consultation with you, a ceremony is created that honours your love, fond memories and brings to the fore the unique spirit of this special person.
A blessing of forgiveness may be included to heal any unresolved hurt, misgivings or disappointment from the past.
Celebrating their life, and the goodness of who they were, nurtures the bereaved and brings closure, completion and allows the healthy process of grieving to take place.
Sacred Occasions
Sacred occasions are those times when you are aware of blessings having taken place and you are moved to celebrate your thankfulness. It may be when a lost loved one returns home, or a seemingly impossible dream is fulfilled, full health is restored after a long illness, a business venture succeeds beyond all expectations, triumph follows trial, the light of hope shines through after a period of darkness and despair.
You may wish to launch a new service into your community, recognize people whose special gifts have made a difference, honour feats of bravery, courage, endurance and other qualities of the indomitable, indwelling human spirit.
Sacred occasions connect us once again to the uniting spirit within us, as we gather together to appreciate the best of our lives, the part that those nearest and dearest to us play in making our lives worth living, the coming together of kindred spirits who make living the joyous adventure that it is.
As your celebrant, I seek to create an occasion that will lift the hearts and minds of those gathered and leave lasting memories that all concerned will treasure for years to come. Please contact me to discuss your Sacred Occasion requirements.
