I will endeavour to make contact with you within 24 hours of being requested by the funeral arranger.
We will arrange a convenient time to meet: usually at your home, or wherever you feel comfortable and have privacy. Online Zoom meetings are also an option if family members are unable to be physically present.
I will ask you about your loved one and what kind of a service you would like. I will talk you through the practical options and make suggestions if you need them.
We can discuss music, readings and anything you might like to add that will make the service special.
You will let me know whether you would like to write the eulogy/tribute to your loved one or whether you would like me to write it. In the latter instance, we will talk in more detail about the life and times of your loved one: the facts and figures, but more importantly about their character, spirit, fond memories and stories that will remind everyone of the happy times you shared.
I will take away all the information and write the eulogy. Once complete, you will get a chance to check and add or remove any parts as you see fit.
Once all the information is collated, we can discuss an Order of Service brochure and make arrangements for printing and so on.
