Working together - the steps we take

​

​

1. A Gentle First Conversation
We begin with a relaxed conversation where you can tell me about your loved one and what you’re hoping for.

I’ll answer any questions and guide you through the possibilities. 

​

If you've opted to pre-plan your own celebration, this is a conversation about you - about your vision for what that celebration

will be.  Show me pictures, tell me stories.  This, after all, is YOUR story.

​

2. Gathering the Story
I take time to learn about the life being honoured - their personality, values, relationships, and the moments that mattered most. This can be done through conversations, notes, or shared memories from family and friends.

 

3. Creating the Ceremony
Using what you’ve shared, I craft a personalized service that reflects their story in a meaningful and authentic way.

Together, we can include readings, music, symbolic elements, and any customs or traditions that are important to you.

​

4. Gentle Guidance and Resources

There are so many details and tasks and decisions that face you - I'm here to support you in navigating and completing those tasks.

It is my goal that you feel as supported as possible, emotionally and practically.

​​

5. The Day of the Service
On the day, I lead the ceremony, holding space for reflection, connection, and remembrance - so you can simply be present.

Our own life has to be our message.
