Welcome, my name is Alan Feeney and I am an Independent Funeral Celebrant.
The services I write are as individual as the people they honour, with each service written from details and stories provided by the family and friends of the deceased. This enables me to create and deliver a fitting and dignified tribute that remembers everything that made that person so special to those gathered to remember them. Although our time together will be brief, I will help you and provide advice for this most important of tasks, and guide you at a time when your grief is at it’s most sensitive stage.
Nowadays, many people have their own views on life, death and religion and not everyone wants a traditional religious funeral, as it would not best fit the wishes of the deceased or the family. Engaging the services of a Civil Celebrant enables you to reflect the wishes of your loved one and will be held in a setting that makes you more comfortable in celebrating the life of the person who has died.
A funeral is always going to be sad occasion, as it is a time to say your last goodbyes, but it need not be a sombre affair, the ceremonies I create are designed to be positive and uplifting, with the focus very much on life, not death, and reflecting on what made your loved one special. It will also give you a great comfort knowing you have provided exactly the memorial that the deceased would have wanted.
I will always meet with the family to gather the necessary information, and create the most fitting kind of funeral service. I welcome all ideas and suggestions from as many family and friends as possible, to build a true picture of the deceased, and therefore create a service that is just right for the individual whose funeral is to take place.
You may wish for family or friends to participate and give readings, or poems. You may also wish to add specific pieces of music that your loved one may have enjoyed. I would heartily encourage this, as it will give a last opportunity to say goodbye in a way that has significance for yourself and all those present.
The most important thing is that you let me know everything that the deceased would have wanted, and what you treasured most about them. This will give me the opportunity, with your Funeral Director, to create a service that will ensure you can say goodbye to your loved one in a way that both you, and they, would have wished.
To help, please look at the service below as an example of my services. Please also feel free to download my current brochure.
