Funerals and Memorial Services
ceremonies for individuals that focus on celebrating life with honour and respect.
Together with the family, she helps in the creation of a ceremony that is personal
and appropriate for the needs of the deceased and the community of mourners.
The Interfaith Funeral and Memorial service has several purposes: First of all to
celebrate the life and passing of the deceased. The service also helps to
acknowledge the release the soul of the deceased on to the next part of their
journey. It gives the mourners to remember and honour the deceased in a service
with others. An Interfaith service aims to help the mourners heal and find comfort
from the words and feelings shared. We will recognize and honour the mystery of
life passage. The service can include favorite songs or hymns, prayers, poems or
readings, quite time and even sharing of memories from the congregation. The
service will be designed to honour the deceased, their family and their friends.
Included in preparing the service are:
- Initial Phone Call
- Meeting with family or person responsible for organising the service
- Meeting via telephone or email to review service and make any necessary
changes followed by the preparation of detailed service outline - Guidance to person writing the eulogy, if needed
- Consultation to choose the relevant words, music and ritual elements for the
service. We will ensure the service meets the needs and wishes of both the
deceased and the mourners and is in keeping with the ambience of the
chosen venue. - Whether the ceremony is going to be traditional or created in full by the
family, Lydia can assist in shaping the service. - Meeting via telephone or email to review the service and make any necessary
changes. An order of service will then be prepared. - Performance of the blessing
