Memorial Ceremonies

What is a memorial ceremony?

Memorial ceremonies are becoming more and more popular for families seeking a more personalised farewell for their loved ones.

Unlike traditional funerals, which often need to be organised quickly, memorials offer the flexibility to plan a gathering that truly reflects the life and spirit of the person who has died —without the pressure of time.
They allow families the space and time to grieve before organising a farewell. This means you don’t have to rush through decisions during a period of intense emotions. Instead, you can take the time to create a memorial that is deeply meaningful and reflective of your loved one’s personality.

In a memorial ceremony, the coffin is not present and this opens up a world of possibilities in terms of location and style.

You are not confined to a traditional setting, such as a funeral home or crematorium chapel. Instead, you can choose a place that was special to your family.   Whether it’s gathering in the family home, organising a celebration of life at their favourite restaurant, or holding a gathering in a cherished outdoor spot, the options are endless. 

Creating a beautiful and memorable farewell in a setting that feels right to you and your loved ones can be a comforting and healing experience.

I’m here to support you in creating a memorial that honours your loved one’s life with the respect, care, and personal touch it deserves. Whether you’re planning something intimate or a larger gathering, I can help guide you through the process, ensuring that every detail reflects the essence of the person you’re remembering.

The difference between a memorial and a funeral

While both funerals and memorials serve as important ways to honour and remember a loved one, a funeral is typically more traditional and time-sensitive, whereas a memorial offers more flexibility in timing, location, and format, allowing for a deeply personalised and reflective experience.
