Our Code

As a professional I am committed to designing a ceremony that brings together all your hopes and wishes. A celebration to recall how lives have been touched and enriched forever. The death of our loved ones can be a very traumatic experience, and having conducted hundreds of ceremonies, including burials and cremations, for both the elderly and very young you can rely on me.

Our Philosophy

I am an anglican minister of 20 years with extensive knowledge, wisdom and empathy. I find that one of my main strengths has been my ability to comfort and counsel people in their time of trial or sorrow. I am a good organiser and communicate well on the phone and in person. I am someone who gently encourages others, but who lets them talk and communicate at their own pace.

We thank you for giving him to us, hisfamily and friends, to know and to love as a companion onour earthly pilgrimage. In your boundless compassion,console us who mourn.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

And this we ask in the Name of Jesus Christour Savior. Amen.*Lord’s PrayerOur Father which art in heaven,Hallowed be thy name.Thy kingdom come.Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread.And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.

We are here to celebrate the life of ...... who passed away on the ............. at .............. aged .... Refreshments at ...........It is my privilege to be with you at this time and to lead us through this service together this afternoon. We come to mourn a relative, to honour a departed friend to celebrate a life, to give thanks for a loved one and to show sympathy to the bereaved. And through the ministry of this time together by what we do and say, and with our focus on ..............., and our thoughts on the meaning of life and death, and in our sharing together as we do at such a time as this we trust that we will each one find that not only do we honour him but that we ourselves each one find hope, strength and encouragement for the future. Eulogy and TributesReflection music or DVD“ "......................." “ Poem "“Miss Me But Let Me Go”"When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for meI want no rites in a gloom filled room Why cry for a soul set free?Miss me a little But not too long And not with your head bowed lowRemember the love that we once shared Miss me but let me goFor this is a journey that we must all take And each must go aloneIt’s all a part of the master planA step on the road to homeWhen you are lonely and sick of heart Go to the friend we knowAnd bury your sorrows in doing good deedsMiss me But let me goAnon.Words of ComfortPsalm 23The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. (Ps 23 AV)Words of ThanksgivingWe are thankful today for all that made ............. special, all that was given him and accomplished in him, all that he meant to those who knew and loved him and all in him that was good and kind and true. And we are thankful that all earthly pain and suffering are ended, and that death itself is conquered. May we each find the help and strength to release him, and in the midst of pain find healing through love, and in the darkness of sorrow may grace shine upon us and awaken in us the spirit of mercy, that, as we feel the pain of others, we may share with them the comfort we ourselves receive. And we look forward to that day where death itself is ended, and every tear is wiped from every eye.The CommittalWe are not meant to avoid life in fear of death. We are meant to live each moment fully, to connect with our environment and the people in our lives, to share the best of ourselves generously, to have courage, to do what needs to be done, and to practice our deepest convictions. Thus in the end, whenever our time may come, we can face it with peace, satisfied in our hearts that we were human and we really, really lived. I’m going to ask if we might all stand now if we can, so as to reverently say the words of committal (Please stand)Together, and by this act, we entrust our brother ........... to the rest of and with his fathers. We now commit his body to be cremated, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and together today and in this act we look forward to a day when earthly suffering is ended and death is defeated and every tear will be wiped from every eye. [Amen].ConclusionNow as we go from the chapel this morning another special piece of music will be played for us. Please follow out after the immediate family. And so as we go our way may love, grace, mercy, and peace go with us all and rest and abide with us forever. (AMEN)Recessional Music “ ".............................." (As curtains close)

Writing a Euology

Tips in Writing A Eulogy By Greg Pierce Losing someone we love is painful. All we can do is keep our wonderful memories with this person in our hearts so we should stay strong. We can express how grateful we are and how blessed we feel to be part of this person's life just before we say our final goodbyes. What better way to do that than through a eulogy. A eulogy is often one of the hardest things we can write, but it has to be written, anyway, because it is one of the strongest ways that we can express our grief for the loss we have suffered and the appreciation we have for being a part of the deceased person's life.You can start with your own relationship with the person if you are writing a eulogy but is undecided how to pull it off. Begin with how this person touched you when you are who he was in your life if he was your father, grandfather, brother, mentor or what ever. You can use a good anecdote, a quote, or even a joke that can demonstrate your relationship with he. And then, try talking about his life, this time touching on exactly how he touched other people's lives. You may want to talk about the person's profession whenever he was alive and his accomplishments.By doing this, you will have an easy way of talking about the person's good qualities in general specifically in relation to how he showed these types of qualities to you and to others. You can mention the person's goals and issues and the inspirations he had in order to achieve their goals.Basically, you'd want to talk about the best aspects of the person's life, however, you still have to be realistic. Touch on the person's not-so-good sides, but only those that are really worth learning from. And you have to express this in a way that doesn't cast bad faith on the deceased. If you must mention this, mention it so it becomes a source of learning for those who are listening.Saying a eulogy is often not that hard, despite the fact that you can expect moments when you'll simply break down as well as cry. This is, after all, a person you value and he has left this world. It's perfectly understandable that you can't help yourself from crying within the loss. Writing the eulogy, however, is going to be tougher because whatever you create will be leaving a lasting impression on the people who will be listening to it.
