Why is ritual so important?

Ritual creates a container for important moments in our lives. It gives visible form to our inner world, allowing the bigness of our emotions to be seen, witnessed and held.

In much of contemporary Western culture, we have lost many of the communal rituals that once marked life’s significant transitions and rites of passage. Yet ritual remains a powerful vehicle for grief. It reminds us that grief is not something we must carry alone, but something that can be held in community.

This Sunday at Grief House, we begin with a ritual to honour the people who have died in our lives and to acknowledge the shared experience of grief, bereavement and love.

❤️ being an independent funeral celebrant means I’m not attached to any one funeral home.

❤️ therefore I can refer clients to different funeral homes for body care and transportation based on their values, circumstances and finances

♥️ I can spend more uninterrupted time with a family in their grief and bereavement as I work for myself and what I set as a standard of care.

❤️ I’m never trying to upsell items or services to meet a quota.

♥️ I can have a sliding scale for accessibility for folks with low income or from marginalized communities.

❤️ for a memorial you don’t need a funeral home. Possibly not even a celebrant. But I can provide advice, support and consultation.
