‘Love is not changed by Death, and nothing is lost and all in the end is harvest’
– Edith Sitwell
It would be my great privilege to work with you to create a deeply personal, beautiful and unique ceremony for your loved one.
A funeral acknowledges the transition both for the one who has died and for those they have left.
Even amidst the turmoil that death can unleash, the opportunity to gather, grieve and celebrate a life in the way which feels most appropriate, can be profound and healing.
I also offer my services to those who are dying and who might like to share their funeral wishes with me. Family and friends can be included too and, from these different perspectives, I sensitively create a service which truly reflects and honours the life of the one approaching death.
‘Living Funeral Ceremonies’ – this is where I work with you at any point in your life to record (and create more fully, if desired) your current thoughts and wishes around your own funeral service. This can, of course, be amended at any time and is, in itself, a reflective and enriching process which can also be a final gift of love and care to those you leave behind.
‘The memory of your touching service will remain with me always’ – Marianne, wife
‘Natasha had incredible, and a radiantly warm, spiritual presence. Everybody loved it, and I heard two later conversations from people lamenting how terrible, in comparison, other funerals that they have attended have been’. – Alistair McIntosh
‘Your eulogy was just perfect’ – The Davidson family
‘Thank you so much for conducting such a beautiful funeral service…There were so many positive comments afterwards and, although there have been many tears, I could not have asked for a more fitting tribute to such a wonderful man’. – Joanne, wife
‘I would like to thank you again for making some of the worst days of my life more bearable. The way you were, how you listened and understood our shocked ramblings and managed to turn them into that lovely service was fantastic’. – Lorraine, wife
‘The embracing of all faiths would mean such a lot to ___ who was the most tolerant of men. Many people have commented on the service and everyone felt peace and calm at a time of very mixed emotions’ – Jill, wife
