Creative Ideas
There are many ways I can help you personalise your service…
When Covid restrictions meant no hugging at funerals I created a cord to unite families in their grief. Together everyone held on, holding hands in a different way. After the service the cord was given to the family to remind them of that connection.

Memorial tokens, every one as different and unique as each persons relationship with the deceased. They can be given to every person attending a service, to hold, bless and infuse with love to either be kept or placed on the coffin or scattered in the grave. Made by needle felting so it’s eco-friendly.
Everyone held on to this cord to create a connection, bound to each other through a shared experience of grief, joining hands in a different way. As everyone left they were given a bag of their loved one's favourite boiled sweets.
Funeral confetti 100% natural and bio degradable, can be scattered at the graveside.
Memorial pebbles, weather durable, hand decorated for placing at the graveside.
Weather durable personalised Memorial Stones can be placed on the grave.
Memory felt pebbles, something to give, something to keep. Memory pebbles work especially well for young children giving them something to hold onto during the service. They can choose to place the smaller shape onto the coffin of their loved one, keeping the pebble with the imprint.
These Magic Memory Wands are designed for young children to wave whenever they want to ask a grown up to share a special memory.
Memory Tags can give those attending the service an opportunity to express their feelings. They can be placed on the coffin, each message going with the deceased with their love.
Inspired by the “Waldorf” teaching philosophy this funeral playset lovingly handcrafted by needle felting can help young children which I lend to families when appropriate.
When children are little the concept of death is hard. A funeral can be incomprehensible. Through imaginative role play difficult conversations can be approached on a level which young children may understand.
