In the midst of difficult times, a calming influence is much appreciated.
Do you want to take the pressure off at a very difficult time?
I will act as celebrant for funerals, or remembrance events, in Galway particularly, or further afield if requested. I will follow the wishes of the deceased, or next-of-kin, or who organises the funeral. I will meet with people and discuss all elements of the event, and I will write an oration that sets the right tone and fulfils all the wishes of those people.
I will take the pressure off you at a time when it can be very difficult to think clearly about someone who has just died. Through our dialogue we will quickly come to agreement over the tone and style wanted. I am a quick and skilful writer who can find the right words for the momentous occasion that it is.
Why choose me?
Philosophy can teach us about life and about death, and that these are part of the same journey we are all on. I can talk eloquently on the subject of death , and I can place it in a context where we can, in the midst of grief, see it as something positive and beautiful, and a part of the natural world.
I would like to see a time when our funerals become wholly naturalistic and connected to our environmental awareness and concerns.
Working with me.
If you book me for a funeral oration I will meet with you in person, if possible, or on zoom. I can ask you the right questions, and we can chat for long enough so that we can gain a clear picture of the character and story of the deceased. This process will be as helpful to you in a time of grief, as it will be for me to be able to deliver an oration that captures the essence of the person gone, as well as uniting the grieving relatives, friends and community.
