Naming Ceremony

Naming Ceremonies

You might be asking yourself, what IS a naming ceremony? Well, every religion and culture, for thousands of years, has created meaningful ceremonies to welcome new life into families and communities. It’s such a special time, a real ‘right of passage’ taken by close-knit communities, on behalf of the children, to say ‘you have arrived, you are loved and you are an integral part of all of our lives’; it’s a way of acknowledging how important your child is to the life and growth of your family, and of the wider community too. It’s such a beautiful experience and one to be treasured.  

But namings aren’t just for babies!  If you find yourself ready to reintroduce yourself to your family or society after a change, or if you want to welcome new additions to your family for any reason, then a naming ceremont might just fit the bill!

Step 1:
Book your initial, no obligation consultation where we can get to know one another. You can tell me what style of ceremony you’re planning!
Step 2:
Make sure you get that precious date added firmly to my calendar – don’t miss out!
Step 3:
I will send my questionnaire for you to complete giving me all of the details I need to begin preparing your ceremony.
Step 4:
We’ll have a follow up meeting to finalise details after which you’ll review your planned ceremony. We can spend time here making sure your ceremony is exactly what you’ve been hoping for!
Step 5:
You’ll have the chance to do a final edit of your ceremony and ask me any questions you need to.
Step 6:
Your special day arrives! I’ll arrive an hour before to make sure everything is in place ready for your ceremony to begin!

Funerals

As an Independent Funeral Celebrant I create meaningful and fully personalised funeral ceremonies.

I understand the importance of commemorating a loved one’s life with a dignified service that reflects their unique journey, personality and beliefs. Writing and creating ceremonies for families is what I do well and I believe that each person’s life story deserves to be told with care and respect. It is my goal to honour your loved one whilst also providing comfort and solace to those left behind. I am committed to crafting ceremonies that celebrate individuality clearly capturing the essence of each unique person.

My professional background includes a degree in English Language and Drama and years of teaching and presenting. These come together to give me the unique ability to craft your ceremony with skill and flair and you can trust that I will deliver that ceremony with a high degree of professionalism managing every aspect of the ceremony with great attention to detail.

I offer families a range of services:

1. Funeral ceremonies: Creating and conducting personalised funeral ceremonies that honour the life and legacy of your loved one incorporating meaningful rituals, readings and music.

2. Memorial services: Designing and officiating memorial services that provide solace, support, and an opportunity for remembrance and healing.

3. Celebration of Life Ceremonies: Crafting uplifting ceremonies that celebrate a life well-lived, focusing on joyful memories and the positive impact your loved one had on others.

I also offer a eulogy writing service should you be preparing a funeral where there is no requirement for a celebrant to attend.

I can also help with support in reading and presenting a eulogy if you would require that service.

Why choose Susan for your funeral?

Care and attention, coupled with a background in the skills required to present as a highly professional celebrant, means that you will be in very good hands when planning the ceremony for your loved one.

Someone said to me recently, ‘we only intend to have one funeral for our loved one and it has to be right’. I couldn’t agree more. Trust is incredibly important and you can trust me to deliver for you and your family. I listen carefully, I craft with care and I will deliver the service you trully want for you and your loved one on the day.

As long as any request is within the law, the answer is always ‘yes’!

Our mother’s funeral

5 Stars
Tracey MacLeod

Funeral | 11/10/2023 | Seven Hills crematorium , Ipswich

Susan was the perfect person to lead the celebration of our dear mother’s life . From the first call we had with her, she was warm, tactful, supportive and eloquent. She guided us through the process of pulling together the funeral service, helping us make the right choices at every stage . She was a great communicator in the weeks leading up to the ceremony. And on the day itself, she led the service with warmth, authority and dignity. She held everything together with grace and charisma. We can’t recommend Susan highly enough.

Wedding | 07/01/2023 | Pakenham

From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thankyou so much Susan for making our wedding ceremony so special.
We couldn’t recommend more for future couples to book you Susan. From the beginning of our planning process right through to our big day you could not have made us feel more at ease and the planning experience more enjoyable. You perfectly created our ceremony script to ensure it was personable to us and captured the most special details of our live together, which was of high importance to us. And you completely went above an beyond in helping on our day, something we will forever be so grateful for! You’re a very talented lady Susan, in writing and speaking, and we feel so lucky to have found you for our big day and will continue to share your name so others are as fortunate as ourselves. Lots of love, Mr and Mrs Eley x

Daughter’s funeral

Vanessa Benton

Funeral | 10/20/2023 | Risby crematorium

Susan helped a very difficult day become a little easier. She took time to learn about our deceased daughter and got it just right on the day. She was professional yet compassionate and would thoroughly recommend.
