Hello and welcome to www.funerals4u.com, a unique and cost-saving tool for celebrating and remembering the life of a loved one.

I am a Professional Funeral Celebrant located in Metro Vancouver, Canada, and since 2016, I have created and delivered in excess of 500 Celebrations of Life, Memorials, Burials and Inurnments (Traditional and Natural) for decedents, throughout Canada, many American States, as well as several European countries.

Expanding my services, I have decided to provide my experience, writing and presentation skills, knowledge and ability, directly to those who have been asked to create and lead a service for a loved one or friend.

My background includes: radio announcer, domestic and international public speaking, published author on funeral services and Master of the Ceremony duties to well over 100 events.

If you have been asked to create and lead a Celebration of Life, Memorial Service, a semi-religious Funeral, a Burial or Inurnment(Traditional or Natural) or the Scattering of Ashes for an adult relative or friend, a niece or nephew or an infant, I can help you.

With respect to the Scattering of Ashes, not only will I create the service, I will also provide instructions as to how to scatter the Ashes professionally without incident ie: wind issues.

I have 9 years of experience creating services for all ages, from infants to persons 100 years of age, as well as people from all walks of life, from the President of a major corporation, to Politicians, to victims of violence and nearly every other walk of life you can imagine, with guests ranging from two persons to in excess of 500.

Process

Following our initial telephone/email contact, I will email you a questionnaire, you simply complete it and return it to me. Within a few days, I will create a 35/40 minute personalized service that will not only honour the deceased, but also make you look and sound like a professional!

I will also provide you with a proven service structure and make recommendations on poetry, music, slideshows and videos. I will leave the actual music and prayer choices up to you.

AND, I will provide you with an Order of Service, which will allow the service to go forward in a smooth, balanced, professional and worry-free manner.

The Order of Service MUST be provided to the Funeral Director or the person that has been appointed or volunteered to handle music, video presentations and/or slideshows, as applicable.

You can expect to be charged between $500.00 to $750.00 by a Celebrant and I will create a professional Celebration of Life or Memorial Service for $250.00.

Service fees for Burials, Inurnments and the Scattering of Ashes are also available at a cost of $150.00.

Fees are in CANADIAN DOLLARS.

I provide my services in English ONLY, however by using a FREE translation software, ie: Google Translation, whole or part of the service can be translated into pretty much any language, if required.

Payment for my services is by E-Transfer ONLY and payable at the time of order.
