Celebration Of Life

Rose Ceremonies Provides Caring and Personalised Funeral Ceremonies

A Celebration of Life or Funeral Service marks the end of an era and the opportunity for a fitting tribute to a person's life. For the family, the passing of a loved one is probably as painful as it can get. However it can be made a little less difficult to bear if thought, care and empathy are paramount in the preparation of the service.

Nowadays Civil Celebrants often conduct funerals where there is no particular religious adherence. Services can be conducted at the funeral home, cemetery, crematorium, chapel or other suitable venue. Sometimes a Memorial Service or Scattering of the Ashes is called for and can be conducted in a favourite garden, park or perhaps even held at sea.

As a Civil Celebrant Elaine has conducted Celebrations of Life or Funeral Services with no religious content or with a prayer, psalm or bible reading included. The format and content of the ceremony is absolutely at the direction of the immediate family and in conjunction with the executor. If required, Elaine is able to write the eulogy in consultation with the family; empathetically and accurately weaving the story of the life of the deceased.

Memorial booklets including a photograph of the loved one and content of their service are a great source of comfort for the family. Elaine can prepare this booklet in a format which you can then arrange to photocopy. Close family or friends who are unable to travel to the service, will particularly cherish this memento and find it helps just a little to ease their loss.

Elaine works full-time in her celebrancy business so she is available at short notice and whilst meetings can be held in the privacy of her home office, Elaine will travel to you if you prefer.

Rose Ceremonies believes that one of the greatest satisfactions in life comes from helping other people and it would be their privilege to hear from you if you require their services for a loved one who is dying or has just passed or if indeed you would like to pre-plan your own service.
