Funeral and Celebration of Life Ceremonies…

Hi, I am Lisa and I am based in Sidmouth, Devon. As a  Funeral Celebrant, I help bereaved families create personal and meaningful funeral ceremonies that reflect the life lived of their loved one and that allow everyone to recognise their grief and celebrate their love for that person.

I know how difficult this time is for those who have lost a loved one and I strive to guide families, relatives and friends through the process of ensuring that their loved one has a meaningful, personal and fitting farewell.

I can either be contacted directly or via your chosen Funeral Director. I will then meet you (at least once) to speak to you about how you wish your ceremony to be.

,,,,Just a little bit more about me and why the ‘right’ funeral ceremony is so important to me.

My brother died when he was 17 years old after a car accident, and I was 19 years old. I lost my husband aged 48 years, to cancer, and I was 41 with four young children. My career as a Paramedic has meant that I’ve seen many deaths – some expected through illness, and many sudden, unexpected deaths through illness or accident.

I’ve worked with bereaved families and children through many charities –  Force, Balloons, and HospiceCare.

It is so important that a funeral is a ‘good’ and the ‘right’ funeral. It has to be an event that pays tribute to the person who has died or is dying.  If you have a funeral ceremony or Celebration of Life where you can recognise that person, it doesn’t bring them back, but it helps to keep those memories alive and allows people to come together in love and support of one another. It doesn’t erase the grief and pain – it can just ease it a little.
