It is said that when someone dies, God sends down two angels: one to carry the soul up to heaven. The other angel remains with the mourners.
Memorials, funerals and eulogies are very personal.They are created and delivered as a tribute to the deceased with the utmost respect, dignity and love.
A loved one's passing is one of the most painful and difficult times that a person can encounter. With deep compassion, support and empathy, my role is to custom create a service that honors .. and yes, celebrates the life of your loved one - while providing comfort, closure and a sense of peace to those who are left to grieve. Such a service appropriately delivered with sensitivity can be both a transformational and healing process. I listen deeply and respond lovingly to the needs of family and friends.
This is a time to be gentle, an occasion to invite friends and family to express their grief and reflect upon their relationship to the deceased; it is a time for sharing memories and recognizing all that your loved one has meant to you.
Funeral and memorial services may be conducted any place that you choose: in a house of worship, a funeral home, the beach, mountain trail or other sacred site. There are no rules that say you must follow a particular format.
The program you choose may feature prayers, inspirational readings, rituals such as candle lighting, personal reflections, and music. Together we will create a service honoring your loved ones' wishes. You may select elements that are a reflection of your spiritual or religious beliefs. You may, of course, choose not to include any religion or spirituality at all. Your personal alternatives and solutions are always welcomed.
My prayer is that your grief might move through you gently.
