Ceremonies to Farewell
End-of-Life Celebrant Sherryl Searle
“The loss is immeasurable but so is the love left behind”
Shivi Sharma
I would be honoured to meet with you to discuss how I can help you create a meaningful funeral ceremony for your loved one. My consultation with you can be at your home or whatever venue is suitable for you. I am flexible and happy to work in with the needs of the family.
After the initial meeting, I liaise by phone or email. However if more meetings are needed, then that will happen. It is important you are totally happy with the ceremony and we will continue to work on it until you are. We only get one chance to get this important ceremony right.
My services include:
- Initial obligation free consultation
- Face to face meeting to discuss the needs of the family
- Provision of written material to help to create a personalised ceremony
- Assistance to create a eulogy and\or delivery of this if desired
- Creation of draft ceremony to be emailed for perusal and proofing
- Provision of written copy of the ceremony
- Ongoing liaison with the funeral company
- On the day – a professional and compassionate delivery of a service which celebrates and honours the life of your loved one.
My services to you will be
Personalised
I am committed to ensuring that the ceremony reflects the unique qualities of your loved one. I appreciate the opportunity to sit with you and to hear about their life – their achievements, their values, their loves and the legacy they have left behind. I respect the diversity in people’s lives.
Inclusive
I remain respectful of key people in the immediate and extended family and friends network and will endeavour to ensure everyone has a voice. This may be the first time the family have arranged a funeral and the skill of the celebrant is to provide guidance whilst actively listening to what is important to the family.
Supportive
Every family is unique and their needs will differ. I have extensive resources I have collated to assist in creating the right ceremony. This will include poetry and readings as well as suggestions for music.
