“There is an ache of sadness that comes in saying goodbye
to someone we love … “

This is a time of delicate sensitivities and vulnerabilities and you need someone who understands the grieving process and who can help you to say ‘farewell’ to a loved one in the most appropriate way. There is care for the passing soul and understanding and respect for those left behind.

Let me help you choose exactly the right words to express the life of the one passing, leaving a unique memory as a result of a beautiful Ceremony. Our meetings will be towards getting the perfect Ceremony for your family.

For the Funeral, you may approach me first, or go to the Funeral Director and nominate me as your Celebrant – you have a choice.

MEMORIAL PRAYER©

I wrote this for a service a year after the mother passed away.

In the light of God’s grace and in the name of Christ
We give thanks for L’s mother, PMH,
Who passed from this life 1 year ago.
For those of us who knew her, let us remember that she was a child of God,
struggling with the life she was here to lead.
As a mother she brought qualities that are passed on for good,
and for the challenging aspects of a growing life.

We send our love and healing prayers that past hurts in her soul,
and in the souls of those around her, may be healed in the light of divine love,
divine grace and divine power.
When some-one close to our lives passes,
it is an opportunity for our hearts to let go, to say ‘thank-you’ for what has been,
and to allow the balm of healing grace to release all actions and memories to the light,
releasing all that has gone before.
We pray that the experiences of inequities be absorbed & absolved into the everlasting & ever forgiving arms of our Lord’s love.

Be at peace PMH.
Be at peace, noble daughter L; and
May your courage & forgiveness reside in Christ’s love;
and may you grow in love and understanding for the life of your mother;
And indeed, for the life you have chosen for this incarnation,
& for the healing of your soul.
Be at peace PMH, be at peace L, be at peace each human heart.

In the name of Christ we pray, so shall it be.  AB
