Funerals and Memorials
Shekinah Leigh
Funeral Celebrant & End of Life Doula
The sadness that comes with losing someone dear to us can feel heartbreaking, and yet the depth of our grief is a clear reflection of the depth of love that we had and will continue to hold for someone who can never be forgotten in our hearts and minds. Funerals and memorials create an opportunity for friends and family to gather together to mourn a loved one, pay tribute to their life and to comfort one another as we remember, reflect and celebrate the influence that they had in our lives.
If you have lost a loved one and are looking for a compassionate and understanding celebrant to support you in creating the perfect remembrance ceremony, I would be honoured to assist you throughout this time of change. I also provide Death Doula (End of Life) services, supporting those nearing the end of life to create Advanced Health Directives, and funeral preferences, as well as providing support to family members and carers. Please contact me directly if you require these particular services.

Pets and Animal Companions
For many of us, our pets are a part of the family and their loss can create a perfectly valid sense of grief and sadness. It is beautiful to be able to celebrate the unconditional love and companionship that our animals bring to our lives…

End of Life Doula
As a Death Doula I provide end of life services of a more spiritual and shamanic nature. I can tailor a treatment session for you or your loved one. For more information contact me directly, or check out my services pages specifically relating to ‘PSYCH-K®’ and ‘Shamanic Healings’.
How I Can Help
Too often the loss of a loved one can happen quickly and the arrangements of their passing can occur while we are still in a state of shock and overwhelm. I am honoured to support you through this time. One of the ways that I can do this is through gathering together all of the important information that you and your family, would like as a part of the ceremony.
- Names of important Family Members
- Theme for the Celebration
- Your Loved Ones Story
- Poems or Readings
- Music or Songs
- Special Rituals
Rituals you may like to include:
- Unity Candle
- Photo Collage
- Memory Table
- Sand Ceremony
- Butterfly Release
- Signing the Casket
- Memory Slide Show
- Reverse Unity Candle
- Tree or Pot Planting Ceremony
- Traditional Rituals from your religion or culture
I will work in close liaison with you, and your chosen Funeral Home, to ensure that your ceremony runs smoothly, allowing your family to be present in the moment, as you lay your dearest to rest and say your final goodbyes.
” What remains in our hearts cannot ever leave us, what we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply, becomes part of us…”
