You Have More Choices Than You Think
Most people think they have to choose between expensive traditional funerals or basic direct cremation. But there are many ways to create something personal and meaningful - options that many funeral directors simply don't take the time to explain properly.
What Does Personal and Meaningful Actually Look Like?
Wild & Free
Funerals are not confined to the crematorium. This bespoke farewell was created as a true reflection of the freedom and beauty of the independent woman it was for. Known for her party spirit, ethical and political convictions a standard cremation service was never going to work. The canal side ceremony was followed by an intimate cremation.
Let the Music Play On
Harnessing the strength of coming together. Calling upon the influences from around the world. The live funeral dirge was sombre and suitably theatrical acknowledging the tone whilst providing much needed uplifting emotional support. The ritual of escorting on the final journey was powerful and transformative for everyone present.
Last Supper
The simple ritual of sharing in food, drink and stories provides a natural and relaxed environment to commemorate a life. For those who do not wish to attend the crematorium, a curated menu of favourite foods provides a wholesome, heart warming way to come together nourishing the mind, body and soul. A memorial book anchored the occasion.
There are so many more we can talk about. Every farewell is uniquely tailored to the individual and those who knew them.
