Your Swan Song
Living funerals and life celebrations


Welcome to Your Swan Song.

We offer living funeral and life celebration services to those people who are near to, or thinking about, their own death. The service we offer is personal and sensitive to your needs. We offer a range of options all of which include a consultation to determine your needs.

We take on the organisational side of the service so that you can relax and enjoy the day. Our approach is professional, discrete and personal.

A living funeral, or life celebration, focuses on honoring the person's life, not focusing on their death. A ceremony is conducted and family and friends are given the chance to share their memories and stories with the person and their loved ones. A comforting, heartwarming, often humorous occasion that leaves all involved with a smile, albeit a sad one.

Your Swan Song is your last big hurrah, a chance to say goodbye to close family, friends, colleagues, and teammates. You can hear all the wonderful and heartwarming things people have to say about you, and they're not just empty words said at a wake you're not physically part of. It is a chance to remember the fullness with which you lived your life, and come to terms with the next journey you're about to take.

Having a Swan Song service allows you and your loved ones to come to terms with what is happening, and feel at peace with the inevitable.

In Your Swan Song you may choose to read out your will or funeral and burial wishes. Inevitably people will share stories, remember the good times, tell jokes, and reminisce.

Your Swan Song service allows people to begin the grieving process and shorten it's time by involving the person close to death. The remaining loved ones will realise just how loved and highly thought of the ill person is, this helps the grieving process, whilst in no way lessening the magnitude of the event about to occur.

Each moment of life is an event worthy in and of itself. Death points to the precious quality of each instant.



Time always has some reconciling effect.
On every ruin there eventually grows grass, and then some shrubbery, and finally, before you realize it, what is really an old ruin becomes a romantic sight and legend.
