Writing your Funeral
Write Your Funeral Service – Your Words, Your Way
Have you ever wondered how you’ll be remembered? What stories will people tell, what music will play, or what message will you leave behind? Writing your funeral service may sound unusual at first, but more and more people across the UK are choosing to take control of their final goodbye.
At Forget Me Not Celebrant, I assist individuals in planning and writing their funeral services in advance. Whether you’re facing a terminal illness, thinking ahead with clarity, or seeking peace of mind, this service enables you to create something personal, meaningful, and entirely yours.
Your Words, Your Voice
Why Write Your Funeral Service in Advance?
Writing your own funeral isn’t about being morbid. It’s about choice, clarity, and comfort for you, and for those you love.
By planning your funeral in advance, you can:
-
Ensure your funeral ceremony reflects your values, beliefs and personality
-
Choose your own readings, music and structure
-
Write or shape your own eulogy or farewell message
-
Remove stress from your family during an emotional time
-
Leave behind a deeply personal legacy in your own words
It’s not about perfection, it’s about peace of mind. You don’t need to know what to write or how to start. That’s what I’m here for.
Working Together
How It Works?
As your celebrant, I’ll work alongside you at your pace. You’ll be gently guided through conversations and questions that draw out the heart of your story. Together, we’ll create a service script that you can be proud of, one that truly represents who you are.
Here’s what’s included:
-
A one-to-one planning session either in person or via video call
-
A full written funeral script including music choices, order of service, eulogy, and closing words
-
Advice on sharing your plan with your family or funeral director
-
The option to include a memory book or legacy message for loved ones
Many people want their service to be funny, while some want their funeral service to be more spiritual. Some want to be brief. There’s no template here, only your voice.

Testimonial
Dear Julie,
Many thanks indeed for all your efforts in helping to arrange the funeral on Friday and personally, for your help in drafting the Order of Service.
It went exceptionally well, thanks to your attention to getting the order of service right and your conduct of the service itself. On the latter, it was agreed by all that you officiated with just the right touch, showing considerable empathy, which drew out the best from the readers and the family, not to mention a deft touch as the service progressed.
It was a great credit to you, the crematorium staff and Becky at Memoria.
Please pass on my thanks to the crematorium staff. It was by far the best crematorium I have been to, well laid out and organised.
Once again, many thanks. Your support to us all was invaluable and much appreciated.
