how to make a MEANINGFUL funeral CEREMONY for someone you love
All the essential advice, knowledge and inspiration you’ll need.
If I had to choose one course that everyone should do as early as possible… it’s this one. Because the more information you have about what makes a meaningful funeral ceremony and how to create one, BEFORE you lose someone you love, the better equipped you will be to deal with things. On both an emotional and practical level.
Because when you lose someone you love, and you have to say goodbye for the very last time, you want that occasion to be as special and unique as they were. You want to picture them through the words that are spoken, feel them through the music that is played, and take comfort in the fact that their life, and what that life meant to you, will be expressed in a true and meaningful way.
But where do you start with such a significant and emotional event? How do create a final farewell for someone you love?
Don’t worry… I can confidently say this is my area of expertise. Based on my extensive experiences of creating and leading a wide range of funerals, the reactions I’ve seen and heard from people gathered on the day, and the feedback I got from families afterwards, I have all the answers. From what I believe are the essential elements of a good funeral ceremony, to types of funeral and appropriate venues, to writing life stories and reading tributes, choosing music and poems, visual tributes, options for gathering after the ceremony... All the information, advice, tips and inspiration you need is here.
