'Surround, and have or hold within.' ~definition of 'encompass'

I am an Accredited Funeral Celebrant. I chose this path after losing too many loved ones over the years, attending their funerals, and wishing I could give them a service their family could be proud of. After conducting many services, both in Perth and remote WA, including multicultural ceremonies, I know I have made the right choice.

By listening to you, I can help you create their story from the heart, and ensure no detail is overlooked by communicating effectively and with compassion until you are satisfied that their story, as well as the story of your love for them, is being told in the best way possible. It would be my privilege to help you to tell that story.

In the words of author Gary Roe:
'We speak their name.
We tell their stories.
We live their legacy.
We honour them on special days.
We love them by taking care of ourselves.
We do this because we loved them.
We love them still.

The word, 'encompass', has more than one meaning.
To embrace, embody, include, involve, encircle, hold.
More than one word. More than one feeling.
They will find their way to a story to be told...
In a ceremony somewhere, sometime, for someone.

Jenny, you carried out a perfect ceremony, and all who attended remarked what a lovely service it was. We want to thank you for making it so profoundly family. I know my dear J. would have loved it and would have chosen you, which gives me great comfort. My gratitude and thanks. ~ Terry

Thank you Jenny so much for officiating at David's service. It meant so much to us all, to have someone he knew and thought a lot of, do it. You certainly made it a memorable occasion. Lots of love and thanks. ~ M. and famiies

Thank you so much Jenny for such a wonderful ceremony for my Mum. We have had so many compliments from all our family overseas, who have said you did a fabulous job. Thank you once again. ~ M. and family
