Funeral Ministry
When a loved one dies, it is always a terribly difficult and sad time. One when, not only are you experiencing the physical pain of grief, you have to make many sensitive decisions at a time when you are sick with loss.
What is wanted by the family or indeed the loved one, a burial or cremation? Which funeral director should we use? Who should conduct the ceremony? Should be it be traditional or unique? Solemn or a celebration?
This all boils down to one thing really; what kind of funeral do you really want as a family?
Everyone is different and these differences can be hard to put into words. Your decisions may be influenced by your religious views and beliefs; the wishes of the deceased or something as practical as costs.
Please remember, Funeral Directors are the best people to guide you through this and they are also committed to supporting you throughout the process and some will be there for you after the funeral. Funeral Directors I have met are desperately driven to offering families advice on how to receive grief and bereavement support after the funeral. Funeral Directors are some of the nicest people I have ever met.
I also am committed to giving this kind of support and am always here via my contact page should you need an ear. I could also help with poems or readings if you are looking for something special and unique. It only takes a little time on my part so please do contact me. The internet can be a marvellous tool for such times.
Please contact me if you feel it could be of help to you. I am sure you will appreciate I am only available to officiate over a funeral service local to my area through the Funeral Directors with whom I work, but it does not stop me being on the end of an email, wherever you are.
If you want a minister and cannot find one, please let me know as I have colleagues the length and breadth of England and Wales but do first speak to your Funeral Director. They will have a list of ministers and celebrants they will be confident to recommend, knowing they will care for you and your loved one's memory.
