My commitment to you…
In my role as a Green Fuse-trained independent celebrant I will:
commit to helping families or individuals to craft a meaningful, respectful and bespoke ceremony
liaise closely and sensitively with the family and friends to get to know the person who has died
be supportive of others who may wish to be involved
be able to advise on choice of poetry, readings and music if required
be happy to include a small religious element such as a prayer or hymn should the family request this
ensure that the words I write, faithfully reflect the individuality, the personality and the life of the person who has died, respecting their values and beliefs
send a copy of parts of the script to the family or funeral organiser prior to the funeral for their approval, comments and amendments
conduct the entire ceremony or just part of it
provide the family with a copy of the script as a keepsake
