After days of rain, the sun came out for an intimate Interment of Ashes at the beautiful Arnos Vale Cemetery today.
Such a magical place.

11 years ago today, I lost my Mum, suddenly and unexpectedly. I never got the chance to say goodbye, or to tell her how much I loved her, which took me a long time to come to terms with - not sure I ever have.
I miss her every single day.
I understand grief. We are never the same after loss. It changes us, forever.

When I trained as a Celebrant, my initial career path was for Weddings - which I absolutely love.

However, I find working with families who have lost a loved one, SO rewarding.
And being able to create and deliver a loving, personal ‘Goodbye’ at their funeral is such a huge honour.

So much so, that I have started a Grief & Bereavement Counselling Course. Not to enable me to work as a Counsellor, but to help me help the families I am already working with, as their Celebrant.

I’ve just completed Module 1 of my course and am delighted with my progress so far.

Being a Celebrant has changed my life, in so many ways. It’s just the best job in the world.

It’s very humbling when a family takes time to say Thank You, after a funeral service, with everything they are dealing with.

These are the lovely words I received yesterday, following last week’s funeral for her 100 year old Mum at Sedgemoor Crematorium.
Thank you Jane.
The honour was all mine. ###

Last week, I had the honour of supporting a lovely family, who were saying goodbye to their Mum and Grandma - a fabulous lady who had reached the grand old age of 100 years !

My first funeral ceremony for a Funeral Director in Somerset, at Sedgemoor Crematorium near Bridgwater.

I am now covering funerals in Somerset, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’ve lost a loved one in that area.

Writing and delivering a funeral ceremony is such a huge honour - especially for someone you know.

Maria married her wonderful husband just 18 months ago, but unfortunately Cancer cut their fairytale short, which is so heartbreaking.

Just being there at her funeral was such a privilege, but receiving a review like this as well as some beautiful flowers, is really touching and means the world.

Saying Goodbye to Maria is life-changing for all those who loved her - but also for me - as it reminds you that life is short. Grab it with both hands, while you can.
RIP beautiful lady.
