None of us want to say goodbye to those we love and care about, sadly, we must. When we must there aren’t any rules to follow. You have choices and there aren’t any expected rules or traditions to follow anymore.
A funeral is not only a time to say goodbye, but also a time to celebrate a life and dedicate the day to the person who has died.
I am Ellie Farrell, an experienced funeral celebrant based in Whitby North Yorkshire.
Creating and delivering funeral ceremonies, celebrations of life, natural and green burial ceremonies, Pagan funerals, Goth funerals, lifestyle funerals, spiritual funerals, scattering and burial of ashes ceremonies, memorials, and ceremonies after direct cremations for people of all ages in Whitby, Scarborough, Redcar and throughout North Yorkshire (or further if required).
We only get one chance to say goodbye so why settle for a standard scripted funeral service when you can have an individualised ceremony of celebration and goodbye?
You do not need to use the services of the celebrant who the funeral director chooses, you can choose your own funeral celebrant. You can contact me for a no obligation chat to see if I am the right celebrant for you. (I won’t be offended if I’m not and I can recommend somebody who maybe more suited to your needs. It is very important you choose the right person).
“We just wanted to say thank you Ellie for making a terrible time bearable for us. The ceremony was perfect, and Mum would have loved it.“
