I've always found music to be so powerful. And as I've always found music to be so powerful. And as a funeral celebrant it can be particularly hard when certain pieces of music are played that hold strong memories or resonance for me. Today at Carlisle Crematorium Chapel we processed in to Taylor Swift's The Best Day. Really had to pull myself together in those moments between entering the chapel, bowing, then taking my place at the lectern. I was introduced to her music years ago through my then teenage daughter, and have loved her ever since (and enjoyed her evolution as a singer/songwriter). There are a few Taylor Swift CDs in my car, and when I visit this daughter it's not unusual for me to listen to nothing but Taylor on the four-hour return journey (singing out loud). The music we choose for a funeral stays with us for life. We'll never hear it the same way again. #music #taylorswift #musicforfunerals #funeralsincumbria #celebrant #carlislecelebrant #penrithcelebrant #edenvalleycelebrant

Amongst the gorgeous flowers at today's eco-burial Amongst the gorgeous flowers at today's eco-burial was this lovely arrangement by the amazing @mabelsyard Her work is full of symbolism and eco-friendly. Jess creates farewell flower arrangements with love and care. As we said our final farewell to a wonderful man, we played the last song he listened to while on this Earth: Harvest Moon by Neil Young. A pleasure, as ever, working with the fabulous Tracy @finaljourneyfunerals #farewellflowers #funeralsincumbria #ecoburial #naturalfuneral #funeralcelebrant #edenvalleycelebrant #carlislecelebrant #florist #finaljourneyfunerals
This morning I was at one of my favourite places t This morning I was at one of my favourite places to officiate a funeral: this non-denominal parish chapel a few miles from Carlisle in the village of Wetheral. We said farewell to a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend. #farewell #chapel #goodbye #personalisedfunerals #celebrant #funeralsincumbria #finaljourneyfunerals

This morning we lit candles in this beautiful chap This morning we lit candles in this beautiful chapel at Wetheral. D had loved candles so I was grateful to be in a venue which allows them. Pachelbel's Canon in D played for the processional and recessional. D had declared it the most beautiful piece of music he'd ever heard. Farewell, you fine gentleman. #candlelight #beautiful #peaceful #celebrant #funeralcelebrant #funeralsincumbria
