After the big ceremonies of recent days, yesterday's was a much smaller, more intimate farewell at Haycombe in Bath. I can't share too much of this ceremony, except to reflect on important it was to say an appropriate goodbye. John's grand daughter proved what a special person she is by making sure a heartfelt and genuine goodbye was possible. Sometimes people ask if it isn't depressing, working in the funeral industry. It can be but it also be quite amazing and uplifting.
Yesterday I mostly worried for my house. Major build works, lots of dust, lots of noise.
Last Word Celebrant is the blog for Andrew Jackson, an independent funeral celebrant based in beautiful countryside between Bristol and Bath. I conduct funeral ceremonies for families looking for a personal and heart-felt farewell for their loved one. I take time to listen, find out what ideas the family may have and then help to compose a ceremony that is moving and memorable. I am also available for handfasting wedding ceremonies in the Bristol, Bath and Somerset area.
