A living funeral is held when someone is nearing the end of life or has received a terminal diagnosis. It offers the chance to take part in their own memorial — to reflect on their life, share meaningful moments with loved ones, and say goodbye in a way that feels true to their values.

​

A living funeral can be a small, intimate gathering or a larger celebration that reflects the individual’s personality, beliefs and wishes. The focus is on celebrating life, cherishing relationships and creating moments that feel deeply meaningful.

 

It gives family and friends the opportunity to express their love and gratitude directly, allowing the individual to hear and witness the impact they have had on others. These ceremonies often bring healing, openness and a sense of gentle closure.

 

Living funerals should always be approached with sensitivity and respect. As your celebrant, I will meet with you — usually in your home — to listen to your stories, understand what matters to you, and help shape a ceremony that feels authentic and heartfelt.

 

I will then create and deliver a tribute based on your values, beliefs and wishes, offering you and your loved ones the chance to say goodbye in the way you would prefer.
