The support I give is always driven exclusively by your needs... Sometimes my input might be minimal, sometimes it might be more extensive - but either way, you're in the driving seat all the way through the process of preparing and delivering the funeral.

And because of that, I tend to charge by the hour, rather than offering a fixed package of support for a fixed fee - this way, you only pay for what you use.

Everyone's needs are different, but typical examples of the kind of support I can offer include: 

• Basic guidance on how to structure the service - not only what to include, but where to put it in the running order...
• Helping you choose appropriate content - religious or secular - to reflect the beliefs of your loved one... In particular, I specialise in adapting materials from the Humanist, Christian (Anglican/Catholic) and Jewish traditions...
• Help on structuring and writing a eulogy for your loved one: how long should it be, what should it include, and how to arrange  the material for maximum effect...
  
• Support and training on public speaking, including how to project, how to use your voice to colour your text, and guidance on appropriate pacing...
• Support with the practicalities for leading a service in a crematorium chapel: for example: what to do when you arrive to lead a service, including what you need to check and discuss with the chapel attendant; what you'll be expected to do during that service to ensure everything runs smoothly, including how to play any music choices, how and when to close the curtain around the coffin (if appropriate), and any notices/announcements you'll be expected to make during the service on behalf of the crematorium
