Guy Boyling - Celebrant

Independent Celebrant

In order to ensure I create a ceremony which accurately reflects the deceased life, it helps if the family can think about many of the questions listed below, before we meet.

• Where was the deceased born and raised
  

• Siblings and family members they grew up with
  

• School days and childhood stories
  

• Partners, children, grandchildren and other family members
  

• Closest friends
  

• Armed forces / National service
  

• Career and places of work
  

• Groups and societies belonged to
  

• Interests and achievements
  

• Favourite memories / Funny Stories
  

• For what will they be remembered
  

• Musical tastes
  

• Will anyone else be participating in the service
  

• Sayings and stories
  

• Did the deceased ever make any personal requests about their own funeral?

      So sing as well”
