EMMA WALKER :
CELEBRANT

Funeral celebrant for Essex

Welcome. My name is Emma Walker.
I am a professional Funeral Celebrant

SERVICES

When we lose a family member or friend, there are so many emotions to deal with, and then so many decisions to make.

These days, you can choose to have the funeral the way you want it. By choosing me to be your Funeral Celebrant, I will create a service just as you wish – modern, traditional, humanist, religious, non-religious, buddhist or a blend of your choice.

You can include any music or songs that you like, and perhaps a reading or poem that reminds you of your loved one. I will work alongside your Funeral Director to create the goodbye that you feel would be most fitting.

ARRANGEMENTS

My fee is £220 which includes

Visiting you to discuss the funeral ceremony
Creating the completely personalised ceremony
Leading the ceremony
Presenting you with a printed copy of the ceremony

This fee is usually paid via the Funeral Director.

Should you wish to use me as your Funeral Celebrant, you can contact me directly or ask your Funeral Director to do so.

The areas I cover include Benfleet, Canvey, Hadleigh, Leigh, Southend, Thorpe Bay, Shoebury, Rayleigh, Pitsea and Basildon. Other areas by arrangement.

Once you have arranged a date for the funeral with the Funeral Director, I will then arrange to meet with you at your home or at my office. At this meeting we will talk and I will start to build a picture of the person you have lost. In this way, I can choose the words that will celebrate the life that they lived, and express our sorrow at their passing. The tone, the style of funeral is completely up to you.

We can discuss choices of music or songs that you would like to be played at the funeral, and perhaps some poems or readings. The choice is yours. I will then write a personalised funeral service that celebrates the life of the person you have lost.

I will send you a copy of this so that you can check it’s exactly what you wanted. On the day of the funeral, I will greet you at the chapel or crematorium and lead you and the rest of the congregation through the service that we have created together to celebrate, to mourn, to say the final goodbye.

In addition to leading a ceremony prior to cremation, I can also provide a ceremony for burial or scattering of ashes.

Perhaps you are looking ahead and wish to arrange your own funeral, to give yourself peace of mind that your life will be celebrated in the way of your choosing. Please contact me if you wish to discuss any of these options further.
