words for funerals
If you'd like a funeral or memorial that's a more personal expression of your loved one, or yourself, then you don't need to settle for something that you might later wish you had done differently. There are lots of ways to approach and prepare for a leave-taking to make it authentic, heartfelt and sacred.
My personal favourite expression goes back to the old early Celtic church in these islands - beautiful, gentle, softly mystical, nature-honouring, God-honouring, forgiving and inclusive melding together of the very old and the new. But that's just me. And what you feel is most authentic and honouring of your loved one's journey might look quite different. And that's the point - we are all different, though we share much in common. So you don't need to force yourself into a structure that doesn't fit. Nor do you need to be wildly different just for the sake of being different. Being authentic is the aim.
I have a very large library of texts, readings and poems that can help you to find the perfect accompaniment to your loved one's funeral ceremony, so that even the saddest of days can be filled with beauty.
I can also officiate if that is your wish.
