Earlier this week, I sat with a family to plan their brother’s life celebration. It was immediately clear how much he was loved and cared for, and how much they wanted his ceremony to feel unmistakably like him - one in a million, and so, this gold star is for him. ⭐️

Personalisation is something I truly value, so I completely understood why it also mattered so much to them. Following the service, I received this lovely message: "Thank you for your patience and understanding. We were able to turn this sad occasion into a wonderful celebration of his life. "

Tonight I attended the Feilding Beauchamps Remembrance Service - an evening that, as a celebrant, gives me the chance of reconnecting with families I’ve walked alongside over the past year.

After a lovely catch-up with one of them, I was genuinely touched when he asked for a photo to send to his kids, who then sent it to me! Moments like these remind me how our work deeply matters to those we help. xox

✨ Christmas Remembrance Service – Next Week ✨

For 35 years, our annual Christmas Remembrance Service has offered a peaceful moment in the midst of a busy season — a time to come together, reflect, and honour the loved ones we hold in our hearts.

As Christmas approaches, we know the absence of someone special can feel especially profound. This gathering is a chance to remember, to share support, and to find comfort in community.

We invite you to join us next week as we pause, reflect, and celebrate the lives of those we dearly miss.
🕯️ All are welcome - please RSVP so we have a photo and for catering purposes

For some, our pets are family! 🐾

I called to meet Jo from PAWS Pet Angel Wings in Masterton, who is very passionate and offers Water Cremation for pets. She was telling me all about the eco-friendly alternative. It's a new concept for many, so it's definitely worth checking out!

"I told her the story. My voice wobbled. My eyes filled. But she didn't try to fix me or stop me. She just listened. Nodded. Held the silence, and made space for my sadness" KM

I was recently talking to a friend about how humans instinctively want to comfort someone with a hug or touch their leg or arm when they are crying; however, this can interrupt the emotion being released. Instead, try just sitting and allowing room for their sadness.

One day I'll revisit Mexico and this time it'll be to honour death - IYKYK. 😉

There is no shame, but beauty in answering honestly. If people ask, they must be prepared for a truthful answer, especially when in the stages of grief.

I'd love this, if I had any plans on being cremated. 🌏

This is just lovely! 😭
