Helping a family plan a ceremony for someone who has died is something I want to be as special as possible. No-one can sum up a whole life in the short time available for a single ceremony, but I work closely with the next of kin to try and capture the essence of the person for those who mourn.
Sometimes, ceremonies are very well attended. Others not so much. I make sure all my clients, and their loved ones, are treated equally with dignity and respect.
It's entirely up to you how spiritual, religious or joyful you want your the service to be. In this way, we can be sure the ceremony you have is the one that's best for you.
It's normal for your Funeral Director to appoint a Celebrant to conduct your service, so do feel free to ask for me by name.
Karen Beattie is a qualified civil celebrant and member of the Association of Independent Celebrants, NBAS (National Bereavement Advisory Service) and a signatory of the Funeral Charter
