Our promise

Legacy promise to honour each life with a unique and heartfelt ceremony that reflects the individuality of the person being celebrated. Every detail is carefully considered, with respect, compassion, and an open mind. By listening attentively to families and friends, we will craft a ceremony that speaks to their values, and heart. By thinking creatively, we aim to make each ceremony meaningful, uplifting, and reflective of the person's journey.

Cremation

A cremation service is a ceremony that takes place before the cremation of the deceased. While the cremation itself occurs after the service, the focus of the ceremony is to celebrate the person's life and offer a final tribute before the body is cremated.

Burial / Interment of Ashes

A burial or interment of ashes is a ceremony where a loved on is placed in a final resting place.

Both services can be highly personal, and the focus is often on creating a peaceful and meaningful farewell.

Memorial Service

A memorial service is typically held after the cremation or burial and is a chance for the family and friends to gather and honour the deceased’s life. It is particularly important when a private funeral has already taken place, but it can also be a follow-up service if the family wishes to gather in remembrance at a later date.

Our Service to You

At Legacy we aim to work with you to create the perfect ceremony for your loved one. This will form a 3 step proccess.

Pre-Funeral Consultation

The celebrant will meet with the family or loved ones before the funeral to discuss the person’s life, personality, values, and the family's wishes for the ceremony.

This is a chance for the celebrant to get a sense of the individual being remembered and what kind of tone the family wants for the service.

It often includes gathering personal stories, favourite readings, music choices, and any special rituals or traditions the family would like to include.

Personalised Ceremony

Based on the pre-funeral consultation, the celebrant designs a bespoke ceremony that reflects the life and personality of the deceased. This can include:

Readings and Poems: From traditional to contemporary works, or even something written by the family.
Music: Choice of songs or pieces that were meaningful to the deceased or the family.
Tributes and Eulogies: Sharing personal memories, anecdotes, and a reflection on the deceased's life and character.
Rituals: A variety of symbolic actions (such as lighting candles, placing flowers, or releasing doves) that add personal significance.

The celebrant will ensure that all elements of the ceremony are carefully planned to reflect the family's wishes and create a fitting tribute.

Officiating the Service

On the day of the funeral, the celebrant leads and officiates the service, guiding mourners through the ceremony. This includes:

Welcoming attendees and providing a gentle introduction.
Leading readings, prayers (if desired), and any other rituals.
Delivering a eulogy or tribute, either written by the celebrant or prepared by family members.
Offering comfort and support throughout the service.

The celebrant ensures the ceremony runs smoothly, keeping it on track and offering moments of reflection and connection..
