Funerals & Living Funerals
When a loved one dies, we appreciate that this is a very difficult, emotional time for you; the thought of dealing with a funeral whilst grieving, can be daunting.
At Claire Hales Celebrant Ceremonies, we will help you navigate this in a sensitive, professional manner; ensuring that all your needs are met.
We provide a fitting tribute, truly encapsulating the personality, character and traits of your loved one; discussing all aspects in the strictest confidence.
There are many choices that you may not be aware of that I can talk you through. You do not have to use the Celebrant that a Funeral Director has recommended, I can work with them on your behalf. There are also many choices as to where you can hold the funeral.
​
Beginning with a phone call, we then meet and plan the Ceremony. I am with you every step of the way, from the initial phone call to the day of the Service and beyond. The script and Eulogy, will be approved by you, we can discuss participation of Family and friends, including poems and readings, music and photo tributes.
Funerals
It is an honour and privilege to provide this service for you.
