Symbolic activity helps us, together with friends and family, express our deepest thoughts and feelings about life’s most important events.

FUNERAL CELEBRANT
THE
ART
OF
GRIEF
Using my creative background and training in the arts to craft bespoke ceremonies.
When someone dies it can be overwhelming and may feel as though we have also lost a part of ourselves. Using my creative background and training in the arts I will work with you to help create a meaningful and moving ceremony to honour the person who has died and to support you in your grief. I do this by creating bespoke ceremonies that put the person who has died at the heart of the ritual to start the process of gently saying goodbye.

PHOTOGRAHY
I work closely with families to take final photographs of loved ones during their last days of life or in the Chapel of Rest following death. To be there to witness such a moment can be humbling and fulfilling and one that some would like preserved. For the past three years I have been a volunteer with The Compassionate Friends Charity. I have met parents who have expressed a desire to photograph their children during their last hours of life and in death. Often the taboo of photographing someone in the last stages of life and in death prevents them from doing so yet it is part of the family story and can help place loved ones who have died in our ongoing life.
