The process of Planning a Ceremony
We meet together and reflect on the 'footprints' of the life of your loved one. Not merely the events of their life, but their essense and what they meant to you. We can then begin to discuss elements of ceremony format and flavour - what you consider will be an honouring and meaningful ceremony, entirely reflective of you and your loved one. Our meeting may in itself bring clarity and often a little comfort, as you sense the unfolding of a special and memorable day.
I then craft the ceremony adhering to the elements and flavour you've chosen. I fully support family contribution, as much or as little as you choose.
You will be supported with warmth and compassion throughout the process culminating in the ceremony itself, at which I will officiate confidently with grace and presence. The ceremony will speak words that bring honour, give voice to grief and loss, speak to your heart, and lead you gently toward saying farewell, enabling you to begin the journey of adjusting to life without your loved one.

Scattering/Interment Of Ashes
It is now common to have a small ceremony or blessing at the time you and/or your family are ready to either or scatter or inter ashes of a loved one and I would be honoured to assist you with this.
The ceremony is usually shorter in length than a funeral and often less formal, and most commonly for a smaller gathering of family and select friends.
One idea I personally love is having a tiny portion of a loved ones ashes formed into a Remembrance Sphere as a beautiful keepsake. Link to www.remembranceglass.co.nz
