Act now before your final farewell *
"The only thing certain in life is death".
Of course it is difficult to face this proposition - but this doesn’t need to be traumatic and painful.
A specialist who can channel your needs, and wishes, into a reality can make all the difference!
Telling your life story to someone who has not heard it before, can be interesting, enlivening and even somewhat healing.
To do so with someone who will provide a comprehensive and confidential service is very reassuring, not only for you, but also for your loved ones, or those who need to look after your affairs.
As part of a select group of celebrants*, I can document your story, your wishes, and other relevant information in one-to-one interviews, and use my experience and skills to write your story in an interesting and accessible style. You then will be provided with a hard copy book or folder (for adding extra comments and information later) of your information with some photos as well as other resources you may choose as required.
Some Pre-Funeral Planning Options
You will be amazed at the options a professional armed with imagination and passion can provide!
Pathway to this service:
Then you will receive your completed "Act Now" Folder or Book, and with it, the knowledge and peace of mind that you have made life easier for your loved ones or those who will be looking after your affairs.
You may even find the process so enjoyable that you'd like to have me back to do a "Top Up" to your story at some time in the future. Of course, in the meantime you can add to your folder as required yourself.
“The memory of a beautiful Service remains long after the flowers' petals have withered and fallen, and the comfort to loved ones go on forever!”
