FUNERALS

I’ll Stand by You - LOSS

Funerals and memorial services - “The process of creating such an important celebration... can be overwhelming–especially if you are planning the ceremony while you are grieving. To help, many people now turn to a funeral celebrant... A funeral celebrant... will work with you to create a ceremony that is highly personalized...” FuneralWise.Com

Your service can be ecumenical (Christian), Interfaith or non- religious.

Zoom and Virtual Services Available - I also offer virtual ceremonies using video conferencing platforms such as Zoom. “The ability to stream funeral services and therefore enable distant family and friends to participate without extensive travel is a significant way that technology will change the funeral industry.” (US Funerals Online)

Holding a virtual funeral or memorial service offers several advantages: It’s easy for distant guests to participate, you can include slideshows, pre-recorded eulogies, music, videos, readings, pictures and other special components.

Digital and Print Services Available - I can help you create mementos and keepsakes that can be used during the service or afterwards. These include print, digital and specialized graphic art products such as: Digital photo albums, PowerPoints, videos, funeral programs, bookmarks, memorial and prayer cards.

WEDDINGS

I’ll Stand by You - LOVE

Since 2001

I’ve been presiding over weddings for 20+ years and believe that everyone should have an opportunity to personalize their wedding in ways that are meaningful to them and their loved ones.

Whether your plans call for a wedding in a church, your backyard, a hotel ballroom or a boat - let me help you create an unforgettable wedding experience!

IMPORTANT NOTICE : REFERRAL ONLY

Throughout 2024, I will be focusing my efforts on Funeral Celebrancy and will only be presiding over weddings that come through by referral (friends, family, colleagues, etc...).

CHAPLAINCY

I’ll Stand by You - LIFE

I am hoping to reshape the way that people view chaplaincy. Most people think that a chaplain’s job is to preach or teach theology and religion. Although spirituality is involved in a great deal of our work - chaplains are specifically trained to listen to, sit with and accompany people during hardship and crisis.

In addition to attending seminary and obtaining a Master’s Degree, one of my proudest professional accomplishments has been completing FOUR units of CPE. CPE or Clinical Pastoral Education “...is interfaith professional education for ministry. It brings theological students and ministers of all faiths...into supervised encounters with persons in crisis...” (www.acpe.org)

My chaplaincy experience encompasses missions, law enforcement (Corrections), hospital, hospice, community and funeral home chaplaincy. I helped found “Until We Meet Again” a support group for bereaved parents, and have provided marital and premarital counseling to many couples throughout the past 20 years.
