Other Celebrations

 Baby Naming's has taken over from the traditional religious service held in a church in recent years. Parents can choose a ceremony that reflects their values among family and friends in a more relaxed environment.

Baby naming's are a joyous way to introduce your child to their new world of friends and family.

If you choose you can have guardians who will guide your new child along in the everchanging path of life.

The first step is to fill in the Contact form to let me know if you would like me to call you or send you an email me or if you would like to arrange a meeting. Our first meeting will be professional but at the same time it will be fun. 

My aim is to make sure that working as a team we can create the ceremony that is yours and presented your way with my help and advice. 

Music: Played at specific times throughout the service or only at the beginning and/or end. The music can be live, recorded or a mixture of both. 

Speakers: Grandparents and Guardians share in their own words wisdom and advice for the child. 

Poems and readings: These would have significant meaning to the parents and can be included at various points throughout the ceremony.

 As part of my service I also provide the new parents with a memento certificate of the occasion.

A life celebration is a ceremony that is typically held after, or in lieu of, a traditional funeral or memorial service. The focus is not on the death of the person, but on the joy that the person bought to others within their circle of life.

A life celebration enables family and friends to join and remember their loved one with happy memories in a meaningful and personalised farewell full of love.

Please contact me to discuss planning a beautiful and unique life celebration for your loved one.

Alternatively, if you wish to plan your own celebration in advance, I can meet with you to organise your personalised ceremony where you decide exactly what you would like on your own terms.

WHAT I PROVIDE:

· Free no-obligation meeting either in my home or yours, online or somewhere that suits you

· Regular Communication in planning of the ceremony

· Personalised Ceremony

· Relaxed rehearsal if required by you

· Use of Professional PA Speaker system – songs provided by you

· Complete copy of the ceremony as a keepsake

Instead of being a sombre event, guests use this time to talk, laugh and share the good times they had with the person who died. It is often held on a weekend or during a holiday period when more people can attend and celebrate a life well-lived. 

A life celebration does not follow any set guidelines and is often held outdoors or in a family home. It can be a short ceremony of 30 minutes or so or can go for much longer depending on the format.

Music: Played at specific times throughout the service or only at the beginning and/or end. The music can be live, recorded or a mixture of both. Typically, music enjoyed by the deceased person is selected.

Speakers: Various presenters and/or the celebrant talk about the deceased person’s life, hobbies, achievements, work, etc. This is an opportunity for guests to gain a deeper knowledge of various life milestones, triumphs, and challenges of the deceased.

Poems and readings: These would have significant meaning to the person who died or to loved ones and can be included at various points throughout the ceremony.

Mementos: Photos and personal items of the deceased can be placed on a memory table or presented on display boards.  

Memorial notes: Guests can write a message to the person who died, or perhaps a treasured memory. These are then placed in a special memory box as a keepsake.

The death of a beloved pet affects some people very deeply. As members of our family and constant companions who give us unconditional love, their loss can be devastating, and the grief is real and raw. Saying goodbye to your pet in the form of a ceremony can play a huge part in the grieving process and allows everyone in the family to farewell them in a memorable and dignified manner.

A simple ceremony can offer great comfort and can be very beneficial for children in dealing with loss of a loved member of the family. The service can include music, poetry or readings family members can remember fun times with their pet or funny habits they had.

Notes or specials items can be placed in the final resting place of the pet or the ashes scattered in a favourite place in the garden.

Contact me to discuss how I can perform a beautiful and dignified ceremony to farewell your beloved animal companion.

WHAT I PROVIDE:

· Free no-obligation meeting either in my home or yours, online or somewhere that suits you

· Regular Communication in planning of the ceremony

· Personalised Ceremony

· Complete copy of the ceremony as a keepsake
