End of Life Celebrations

If you're seeking a Funeral Celebrant in Carlisle and throughout Cumbria, I want to extend my heartfelt condolences for your recent loss. Losing a loved one is an incredibly difficult experience, and my thoughts are with you and your family during this challenging time.

Honouring and remembering the life of someone dear is a significant part of our human experience. As a Celebrant is to tell a loved one's unique and personal story. Saying goodbye can be tough, but it’s important to celebrate the memories and impact of those we have lost.

As the relationship with our loved ones transitions from life to memory, we hold them close in our hearts and cherish the moments we've shared.

Saying our final farewell is a vital step in adapting to this new chapter in our lives.

As a dedicated Celebrant, I take great care in crafting personalised and bespoke ceremonies that reflect the uniqueness of your loved one, honouring them just as they would have wanted. Let’s create a memorable tribute that celebrates their life and legacy.

How Can I Help? Secondary Title

Your stories, memories, and wishes are essential in crafting a unique and beautiful ceremony that truly reflects the beliefs, values, and spirit of your dearly departed. Together, we will honor them in a way that they wished to be remembered.

The service can be tailored to your preference; if you desire a religious tone, we can easily accommodate that. Alternatively, if you prefer a more spiritual or interfaith approach, that can also be arranged. Let’s work together to create a heartfelt tribute that resonates with you and your loved one.

Or perhaps you would prefer something more spiritual or interfaith- again; this is no problem either.

I ultimately aim to help you and your family create a service you feel is a befitting tribute to your loved one, and one he or she would have wished for.

Pet Memorial Services

As adults, the loss of a pet is a very significant event in our lives and is something that we prefer to keep from our thoughts. While they are with us, we do our utmost to enhance their quality of life, always trying to be the person they think we are, as a pet owner I know how important it is to remember them and say goodbye and a proper funeral is a befitting next step for us to take on their behalf.

I can help you by creating a service which may include prayers or poetry, readings and even symbolic rituals (planting a tree, lighting a candle or installing a commemorative sculpture). I am happy to conduct the funeral ceremony, and/or a blessing at your home for the commemorative rituals.

How Can I Help?

Pets are often much loved family members and their loss causes much grief but it can be difficult to find a way to suitably mark their passing. A simple memorial ceremony can help express the value they have brought to your family and the love you feel for them.

Losing a pet can also be the first bereavement that children experience and I can help you create a celebration of the pets life that will assist them in understanding this next step in life.

The ceremony may incorporate the scattering of the pet's ashes or use symbolic acts like the lighting of candles. You may want to incorporate poetry and music, prayers or readings from any tradition and possibly use the placing of a memorial or the planting of a tree to help mark the occasion.

My role is to create a ceremony that will fulfill your needs and allow you to fully express your love and loss.

If you would like to discuss your service with me/Clive do not hesitate to contact me at prices from £150.

Cookie was a very central part of our family

Clive believes we share our lives with our animals and their death can be as significant as that of any human we have cared for. Clive fondly remembers the special ceremonies of his much-loved pets, it is important to pay tribute and say goodbye as we endeavour to heal.
