Funerals & memorials

Celebrating love...celebrating life

When someone dies, their loved ones often mark the occasion with dignity, grace and a celebration of someone who deserves a fond farewell.

I can help you say goodbye.  

Planning 

We can meet to discuss the personal aspects of the ceremony. I can help you decide on:

• a tone and style that reveals your loved one's personality.
• music or tributes you would like at the service.
• eulogies and how to share special memories.
• any important rituals or cultural practices.

I will liaise with the funeral home to arrange all the practical and technical aspects of the service.

Eulogies and tributes

The people who mourn with you may not know everything about your loved one. A eulogy or a tribute can help them understand what was important to them. It can help you grieve together.

Eulogies and tributes can:

• tell a person's story.
• show their personality.
• reveal their accomplishments.
• provide a moment to reflect on a personal memory.

I can prepare and give the eulogy for you or coordinate the sharing of memories.

What happens on the day of the funeral

Cost

Funeral and memorial services start at $250. 

I can also provide services outside of the Adelaide metropolitan area and the Hills - travel costs may apply for longer distances.

The day of the funeral

The day of the funeral will be an emotional one. We will have planned a ceremony that honours your loved one and helps family and friends reflect on personal memories. So now you can leave it with me...

I will:

• arrive before family and friends.
• work with the funeral director to ensure the ceremony goes to plan.
• check that all other arrangements have been finalised at the funeral home.
• make sure those who will be participating in the ceremony are calm and prepared.
• greet family and friends.
• support family and friends as they grieve.
