Types of Services
Services you can have for a funeral service:
Whether the family decides to have a funeral service, or a non-attended service, is up to them; they can still create a fond farewell with whatever form they choose.
Funeral services can take place in a church, crematorium chapel, the family home, in their favourite park, at the graveside or or, with special permission, at sea.
Attended Services
An attended funeral is one where the funeral service is held with the coffin present, and with family members and mourners in attendance.
Once the family have engaged the funeral director they will help them through the process of what they need to do.
A memorial service is similar, however, there is no coffin present. Both may be held at any venue of the family’s choice.

Creating A Fond Fairwell
Non-Attended Service
A non-attended funeral is one where the deceased is delivered directly to the crematorium or cemetery by the funeral director, and no family attend. If it is by cremation the ashes can be collected.
The family may choose to: have a memorial service at their church at a later date; or memorialise the ashes at a crematorium or cemetery; or have a scattering of the ashes in a place meaningful to the family so they can bid a final farewell.
Family can also contact a Celebrant to help them with the Memorial Service.
This allows families to say goodbye in their own way and have closure. With a non-attended burial there is always a permanent memorial.

Choosing the Celebrant, Priest, or Pastor
One of the most important parts of any funeral service is the choice that is made with regards to a celebrant or religious clergy.
With a religious service held in a church there will be a set way the priest, minister, or pastor will do things. They will adhere to their doctrine, with some family input. Where there are occasions that the service is held in the funeral home or crematorium chapel with a religious minister or priest, the service will be similar to a church service with some minor adjustments.
A funeral celebrant is a non-denominational leader for a service. They sit with the family and support the family with options on how they would like the service to come together. The celebrant will be there on the day and will run the service.
The celebrant can help the family with ideas to prepare eulogies and, if no one is able to speak at the funeral, they will deliver the written word on behalf of the family. I work with most funeral companies; they have my number and contact to me to see if I am available.
Lighting a Prayer Candle in Memory of a Loved one.
Many times, over the years I have been asked how I use candles as part of my healing and prayer process.
It is always about the intention of healing, think of the person and/or the situation and light the candle holding an intention of love and support from the Universal presence.
Simple steps to follow are:
Caution - (Always place candles in a safe place keeping out of reach of children and pets. Never leave the candle unattended.)
Chose a candle with a person or situation in mind.
Light the candle with the following prayer
I light this candle in the name of the Father, Son & Holy Ghost.
I ask the light of this candle to surround (insert name of person or situation) with divine loving support and under Universal Law. Amen.
I personal like to allow the candle to burn away for the prayer to take full effect however in the name of safety you can extinguish the candle if you need to go away from it by using the following prayer.
As I blow this flame out I ask the light from this candle to continue sending love and light to (insert name of person or situation) with divine loving support and under Universal Law. Amen.
Wishing you love and light
