Catherine Walsh

I will lead your Funeral service to honour and celebrate the life of your loved ones. I will work alongside your Funeral Director lessening some of the stress associated with the planning of a funeral. I will create a unique and bespoke service that reflects your families wishes and the life of the deceased.

I offer a variety of services including, non-religious, spiritual or a combination of the two. Should readings, hymns, poems or Prayers be required please ask. A meeting will be arranged to collate details of your Loved one and family members, significant memories, funny stories, achievements etc. This will be sensitively gathered and an authentic and accurate Eulogy will be created. Should family members or individuals wish to speak I will support this offering guidance and include this in the ceremony.

Given my background as a Therapist over twenty-four years I have vast experience in working with Grief and Loss, I will provide a supportive and safe space offering empathy, compassion, sincerity, good communication, creativity, a positive mindset, collating the Order of Service. Ensuring the service works seamlessly and on time.

I will remain grounded and calm holding your space when in your world you feel the most indescribable nature of loss, an amputation of a part of yourself, or an absence that weighs on you like a heavy cloak. Grief necessitates learning to live in a world with the absence of someone you love deeply, who is ingrained in your understanding of the world. You are navigating through two worlds at the same time, despite the fact your loved one has been stolen from you, something that makes no sense and is both confusing and upsetting.

I have strong established relations with funeral directors and staff at crematoriums in the North West.
