Funerals

ANNE STURMAN | Civil Celebrant

I CAN PLAN AND DELIVER a funeral that captures the true essence and personality of the loved one you will be paying tribute to and honouring. I will work with you to ensure that the ceremony is bespoke and support and guide you through carefully chosen poems, readings and music if required. The eulogy I create will be shared with you beforehand and will be written following a meeting with the chief mourner or mourners. You may want family members or friends to participate in the ceremony by reading certain elements, delivering personal tributes, playing a piece of music, and I would be honoured to support them with this.

It is a true privilege to ensure that a funeral is conducted with sensitivity and respect and I have the qualities needed to make certain that this happens for your loved one, for you and for your fellow mourners.

I am not affiliated to any particular religion and the ceremony can be non-religious or contain some religious elements – hymns, religious readings or prayers. Here are a list of services I can provide:

To deliver a funeral

You can contact me directly or book me through your chosen funeral director – just let them know that you want me to conduct the service.

Scattering or burial of ashes

This short and simple ceremony takes place after a cremation. Your loved one’s ashes are scattered in a special place that is connected to them, and to your memories. This provides comfort, knowing that a place that holds a special place in your heart will be where your loved ones ashes lay.

Memorial Services

This service is usually held a few weeks or months after the funeral and is often attended by a large group of people – some of whom may not have been able to attend the funeral. This can be longer than a funeral service and is a further way of celebrating someone’s life and legacy. I can work with family, and friends, to create a unique tribute to your loved one. This can be held in any venue you choose.

A living funeral

This is when a funeral service is planned and delivered when someone is still well enough to state their wishes and plan their funeral to take place whilst they are still alive. I can support this process and plan and deliver the service in the way that you want. This can be held in any venue you choose.

Pet funerals

Our pets are part of our family and as such you may want a small ceremony to honour your pet and help you, and especially children, to say goodbye. I can plan and deliver a ceremony that pays tribute to your pet and also allows you and your family to grieve.
