A Wake
Gather, Remember, and Honour—Your Way
A wake is one of the most time-honoured ways to come together after the loss of someone dear. Often held before or after a funeral, or as a standalone alternative, it provides space for memories to be shared in a natural, informal way.
While wakes are traditionally less structured, they are no less meaningful. Some include toasts, stories, poems, music, or moments of reflection. Others unfold around a meal, a photo wall, or the comfort of being together. What makes a wake special is that it’s yours—guided by your traditions, your people, and your tone of farewell.
As your celebrant, I can help create a gentle atmosphere with thoughtful words, facilitate a smooth flow to support grieving guests, or help shape a blend of structure and spontaneity. Whether you're gathering in a home, a hall, a garden, or your loved one’s favourite place, I’ll help you create a warm, meaningful experience rooted in remembrance and connection.
This is not about “getting it right.” It’s about creating space to be real—to laugh, cry, connect, and say goodbye in your own way.
