Firstly, I offer heartfelt condolences to anyone who has suffered a bereavement under any circumstances and I respect it is a sad and daunting time. I am Amba, and I am here to support you in creating a personalised ceremony. My role is to focus on you and listen to your needs. By spending quality time with you we can plan a unique ceremony that will tell the life of your loved one inlaying the essence of their personality.
I am Amba, a mother of four wonderful children, now adults, exploring opportunities the world has to offer. I initially worked in agriculture and then spent 25 years in education recently leaving my role as a teacher.
Now working as a funeral celebrant I am passionate about working with you to create a unique, meaningful ceremony and delivering it in a sensitive and professional manner. I will work closely with your chosen Funeral Director to ensure the occasion runs smoothly. It will be an honour to share this journey in saying farewell to your loved one in the best way you can.
I encourage family and friends’ ideas to ensure a tailor-made ceremony representing the love everyone has shared. I am comfortable with humanist or spiritual content and any rituals you might wish to include.
My Services.
I can offer the following.
Funeral Ceremony.
Providing a very special personalised ceremony to honour and celebrate a unique life lived. This will include writing a unique Eulogy to tell the life story and encompass the personality of your loved one. Through readings, poems and music choices the essence of them will be shared. Spiritual content may or may not be included as you wish. The ceremony planned would be suitable for delivery at a crematorium or at site of interment or other chosen venue.
Memorial Ceremony.
This is an event that can be held after a after a Direct Cremation or small funeral. It can be held at a local venue. I can support planning a personalised ceremony celebrating the life of your loved one and all they believed in. It can be held at a venue special to the deceased or their family and friends. The ceremony will be planned with you to make it personal celebrating the life journey and all the deceased believed in. It might incorporate music, readings or rituals.
Burial, Scattering or Interment.
A shorter ceremony to honour the life of your loved one at their final resting place.
Living Funeral Planning.
I offer the opportunity to support you in planning your own funeral ceremony. More people are making plans in advance so those left behind don’t have to make decisions at a difficult time. It may be easier to have this discussion with myself rather than loved ones and plan your own ceremony or maybe just write the Eulogy together.
Alternative Ceremonies.
I can also work with you to create a relevant ceremony incorporating scattering of ashes at a personal location, ceremonial tree planting, or pet service.
