I feel truly honored to be not only a comfort but a 'teller of the story' to family and friends during the time when they have lost a loved one. Death is an inevitable but challenging life transition. I believe that the ability to reflect on the memories, to acknowledge the good and the gifts they have left behind helps us in our healing, and keeps those memories alive and within our hearts.
Like all my ceremonies, a funeral or memorial service will be created based on information you give me about your loved one. I want to tell the story of this person and share it with family and friends. Your service will be personal and unique, including poetry or readings I find that reflect the person you wish to honor.
Cindie Wilding performed my father’s memorial service on 9/18/11. From our first conversation Cindie was very compassionate and understanding. Our family dynamic was complicated but Cindie was able to contact several family members to get their stories on our father to put together a very fitting service. I would highly recommend Cindie for your memorial or funeral service.

There is a strong tradition of memorials being the main ceremony, held some days after the body has been dealt with at a funeral. Holding a later memorial allows more time for planning and organizing a ceremony with many participants that can focus on celebrating the life and legacy of the deceased.

Thank you for your comments. I agree with you -- that is becoming more the case here in the states as well and with good reason. We now have more meaningful and personal ceremonies. So nice to hear from you. Cindie
