Taking some time today to quietly reflect. #Remembrance2020 #LestWeForget #WeRemember

Has your loved one told you they don't want a funeral? The reasons for not desiring a funeral vary, but often include: - they don't connect to the traditional or religious way of doing things - concerns about being a financial burden... - not wanting to be the center of attention, even in death But what they don't realize is how valuable a meaningful funeral is to their family. Although a funeral honours and remembers the life of the deceased, it is actually beneficial for the living. As your Funeral Celebrant, I am here to help you have a meaningful gathering to honour your loved one in a way that will be special and suitable for your family. Your loved one lived. They were loved. And they are worth honouring. Take time to remember. #funeralcelebrant #uniqueceremonies #meaningfulmoments #funeralsarefortheliving

It is an honour to walk alongside families during some of the most difficult moments of their life. I may not be able to stop the downpour, but I will always join you for a walk in the rain. #funeralcelebrant #walkintherain #neveralone

Setting time aside to remember someone who has left those footprints on your heart and changed your life forever is so important. Although we can be tempted to put things off, especially during this pandemic, there are many ways to honour someone's life that will provide that much needed time of reflection and remembrance. Many families are choosing smaller, intimate gatherings now, with plans for something larger at a later date.... Others are choosing to utilize technology to include those who are not able to attend a gathering, whether it is due to restrictions on numbers, travel distance or health concerns. I am always here to help guide any family who is wondering what options are available to them and will create a ceremony that is meaningful and suitable for the type of gathering they wish to have. #funeralcelebrant #uniqueceremonies

Although the way we have been able to gather and honour our loved ones has been very different this year, it hasn't changed our need to set aside time to remember and reflect. Many of the ceremonies I've conducted over the past few months were intimate gatherings of the closest family members and friends. They often took place at the graveside or at a meaningful location. While they did not resemble traditional gatherings of the past, they did offer a very special time of sha...ring memories and reflecting on the love and friendship that had been shared through the years. #funeralcelebrant #takingtimetoremember #uniqueceremonies

These dreary weather days can quickly drain the energy and positivity out of anyone. But to someone who has been isolated due to grief or the pandemic, or both, these types of days can be down right unbearable. So let someone know that you are thinking of them today. It doesn't take much effort to send a text or email, or even take some time to make a phone call. It just might be the thing to brighten someone's day. ... #funeralcelebrant #Rainydays #thinkingofyou
