Funeral, Memorial Services and Scattering of Ashes
Honouring a person who has died is the final gift we can offer them!
When people gather at a funeral or memorial ceremony they are all united. Irrespective of their personal feelings, their relationship with
each other or the current politics of their own lives; they are at this time bonded by the same sense of grief and loss.
An Access Civil Ceremonies Funeral Celebrant spends time with the bereaved family, and also, if appropriate, their friends and neighbours to get a clear
idea of exactly the type of person the loved one was, so that their life can be remembered and celebrated in a loving and meaningful ceremony.
It is usual for one or two people to prepare and say a Eulogy. Your Celebrant can help you with the preparation of the Eulogy. Some people fear that they will not be
able to present the Eulogy for fear of "breaking down". This seldom happens, but if it does your Celebrant will be available to take over for you.
Civil funeral ceremonies can include prayers, religious readings and hymns as well as secular music and readings. It is also a time when respectful reference
can be made to the deceased's life by the use of ritual and the inclusion of symbols.
Civil Funeral ceremonies can be held at a Funeral Parlor, a community hall, a place of importance to the deceased or the family, or at the Cemetery or
Crematorium.
A memorial Service can be held at any time. It is often held on an anniversary of the death. Sometimes a memorial service is held to remember a person who may
have died and been buried overseas or interstate. It is also an appropriate way of having closure for the family in the tragic event that there is no body available to
bury cremate.
An Access Civil Ceremonies Celebrant is also available to perform a Memorial ceremony when it is time to "scatter the ashes".
Every ceremony is designed to remember and honour the deceased with dignity and love.
