Family and Friends Involvement in Funeral Services
A funeral or memorial service is a chance to come together to honor and celebrate a loved one’s life. I believe that involving family and friends in the ceremony can add a truly personal and heartfelt touch. Whether it’s sharing a memory, reading a poem, or delivering a tribute, these contributions can bring comfort and connection to everyone present.

• Family and friends are welcome to read a poem, share a story, or recite a prayer during the service.
• If speaking publicly feels daunting, I can read a prepared message on their behalf.
• I can help guide loved ones in selecting suitable readings or preparing their contributions if needed.
