Funerals and Memorial Services
Funerals
Being faced with the death of a loved one - expected or sudden, means having to think about how we will farewell them. It is usually a time of grief and turmoil and planning a funeral is a challenging prospect.
I am skilled at helping you plan a dignified and respectful funeral service. I see it as a great privilege to help you with the ceremony you want for your loved one. I work with you and the funeral director to ensure your wishes are included in the service and I then deliver the service in a professional, caring and empathetic manner.
Rates: Please speak to your funeral director about rates for this service.
Testimonials:
Sadly my husband passed away in a road accident in many years ago... and due to circumstances at the time, I’d never really had a chance to say a proper goodbye & to tell him how much he meant to me... fast forward to 2019 &I finally realized I needed to resolve this... but not alone... who better to help was Trish. Trish seemed to immediately understand what I needed to do & together we planned a beautiful dedication event, in a quiet, tranquil setting. Trish was thoughtful, proactive, creative and kind in the way she helped me plan and execute this, and I felt secure, safe and loved throughout the process. Trish has a unique gift and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a sensitive and thoughtful ceremony planned and delivered.

Trish has a strong sense of pride and work ethic along with her ease of presence with all walks of life makes her easy to approach. Trish has an amazing way of connecting with people, placing them at ease and coaching them towards their best - I would 100% recommend her and be happy to have her as a celebrant for any special occasion.

Memorial Services
Holding a memorial service for your loved one provides a chance to grieve together with family and friends for the person who has died. Perhaps they didn’t want a funeral or perhaps, due to Covid-19 lockdowns, you were not able to have a funeral where friends and family could gather.
A memorial service can help us acknowledge the reality of death, celebrate our loved one’s life and mourn their loss in a safe environment.
I will work with you, with empathy and kindness, to plan and deliver a ceremony that will honour the life of your loved one.
Rates: Please contact me directly for a Memorial Service fee.
