FUNERALS

Arranging a loved one’s funeral will be one of the last things you are able to do for them, so it seems to me that your chosen service or ceremony should reflect who they were, the impact they made and what they meant to the people gathering to say goodbye. A large part of the Celebrant’s job is to pull together the strands of the deceased’s life in order to create a ‘service’ that truly reflects that person – a service that is Unique2 them

How many times have you attended a funeral, listened to the eulogy, looked around and wondered whether you had inadvertently wandered into the wrong service? Who on earth are they talking about and how do these words bear any relation to the person you knew and loved?

While it is sad to lose someone close, I believe that a funeral service should also embrace the act of celebrating that person’s life, in whatever way seems appropriate to them. I don’t mean celebrating with a large, noisy party – although why not, if that is how they lived their life – but celebrating through shared memories and feelings, laughter, smiles and tears.

The most memorable funerals are the ones where family and friends have played an important role in contributing to a service which celebrates the life of the individual.

WEDDINGS

There are occasions in life where it is good, helpful in fact, to have clear guidelines and expectations of an event. There are also occasions where it is appropriate to adopt a uniform approach to proceedings, to blur, if you like, into a muted background of sameness.
Your wedding is NOT one of those occasions. Your wedding should be bespoke, original and Unique2u .

Let’s talk about weddings......

Maybe I’m a bit strange, but I have never been to a wedding and come away rhapsodising about how exquisite it was that the sugared almonds were engraved with the couple’s initials. Nor have I uttered the immortal phrase;
‘That wedding was amazing because it had all of the elements of every other wedding I’ve ever been to…’
YOUR wedding should be about YOU. It should be personalised. It should tell YOUR story and be in YOUR style. It should reflect who you are as a couple – not who the couple over the road are.

You deserve to have your guests going home saying; ‘that wedding was so THEM!’
