The farewell ceremony is the most personal part of a funeral. Every life and every story is unique. We arrange a religious service with a minister of the family’s denomination, or a civil farewell led by a professional celebrant.
Elements of the Farewell Ceremony
- Coordinating a religious service with a priest or minister
- Civil farewell led by a celebrant
- A personal eulogy based on the deceased’s life
- Live or recorded music and vocal performances
Religious Service
At the family’s request, we contact the relevant parish or congregation and agree the timing and order of the service — whether Catholic, Reformed, Greek Catholic, Orthodox or another denomination.
Civil Farewell
For a civil ceremony, the celebrant writes a personal eulogy based on a conversation with the family.
