Sarah Barker Funeral Celebrant

Some people die way too young….and l was reminded of that this week, helping a couple say goodbye to their daughter. It’s just not the natural order of things and there’s nothing very helpful you can say….so just be supportive

“Nobody wants to be here” - so true, but sadly we all join at some point …

One of the most popular poems for a funeral - and you can see why. Simple but lovely ☺️

Some people lead really full lives and Chris was one of them. A sailor, tutor, collector, the list went on and l was so pleased to help his lovely wife celebrate his life 😊

It was a beautifully sunny but wintry backdrop at Vinters Park crematorium today as three lovely siblings said goodbye to their Mum…🥰

Bittersweet memories today for sure. Helping a best mate say goodbye to their Mum is an honour but not the easiest thing to do! RIP lovely Jan , you will be missed ###x

Respect and patience….not asking much is it?

Sadly this is so heartbreakingly true 💔 Just lately we are having more and more drivers on the roads being impatient and trying to push in on the Funeral Cortège’s in between the Hearse and the Limousines with bereaved family members in, and even on funerals with our horses too.

This is happening to the point where accidents have nearly been caused because someone just wants to cut in or to cut through.

I appreciate we drive slower, but this is someone’s final journey, and this is done out of respect.

Whether this makes you 30 seconds, one minute or two minutes late for where you need to be, think about that person who has passed and the families that are following.

A final journey is so precious 🤍
