Other services
Instead of having me guide you through the entire ceremony, you may prefer to use my services just for a particular element of the ceremony. Or you may want my help planning a different sort of ritual. Below are some examples:
Service | Price |
writing a eulogy | € 300 |
a separate farewell ceremony for a family member with dementia | € 180 |
help thinking through your funeral wishes ahead of time | € 180 |
rituals to mark other significant loss-related milestones* | customised price |
*Examples are placing the memorial stone, scattering the ashes or marking your loved one’s birthday. A ritual can also help you to process other types of loss, such as redundancy or the end of a long-term relationship. You can always contact me to discuss options.
Funeral insurance
If your loved one had funeral insurance, you can probably use part of the pay-out to cover my fee. You can ask the funeral director and the funeral insurance provider for more information.
