Do you want to plan something distinctive to honour a loved one?  

Are you trying to reconcile a request for “no funeral” ...
​                                                 with your feeling that doing nothing, isn’t quite right?
​Families often approach me when they’re not sure what to do with regards to a ceremony, especially when there has been a request for “no funeral”.  A ceremony can be designed to honour your loved one’s life in a manner that transcends the traditional funeral experience. 
​You may prefer a toast with a glass of port versus a prayer, jazz as opposed to hymns, or possibly a toast with port, a prayer and jazz.  Every aspect of the ceremony is designed to fit your preferences and every element is pre-approved.  You can relax to experience the ceremony and allow the genuine expression of your emotions.  
Created specifically for your loved one, a personalized ceremony will reflect their individuality.  It will portray what was meaningful to them and what they meant to others. You will have complete control over the tone and content.  
​Personalized ceremonies are officiated in the location you chose. You may prefer to hold the ceremony in a familiar reception venue or even a special family location.  Wherever you are most comfortable, can be the perfect place to honour a life well lived.   
See Working Together for more information.
