Our philosophy

Empowerment

We put your needs and wishes at the centre of the funeral planning process. While the occasion of a funeral is not in anyone’s control, we believe you can have control over how you say goodbye.

Support

We offer a safe space for you to grieve and connect with the person who has died and each other. We provide a safe environment for bereaved people to experience and address their emotions proactively through the process of holding a funeral.

This might be helping to care for the person’s body, spending time with them, investing in the details that make the event unique to them, and meaningful for you.

Deep listening

We pay close attention to your unique wishes and preferences. Your needs and ideas will be central to the whole process of planning and putting on the funeral.

Close collaboration

We work with you to create a personal and meaningful ceremony. Empowering you to make choices, and acting on your behalf are some of the many aspects of our work, which is informed most by gentleness and practicality.

Through bespoke hands-on rituals and creative tasks (such as washing the body, practising a eulogy in their presence, coffin painting or decorating) we want to ensure that you have access to the person for as long as possible.

Working with rituals

We provide opportunities for hands-on experiences, such as washing the body or participating in creative tasks.

We are experienced in working with people from a wide range of religious and spiritual backgrounds. We will listen carefully to your wishes and accommodate your needs.
