In loving memory

A funeral celebrant for a personal farewell

I am deeply sorry that you have lost a loved one. I would be honoured to help you pay them a final tribute with a dignified ceremony and a personal, comforting eulogy – in English or German.

A eulogy that tells a life

As a funeral celebrant I come to your home and am, first and foremost, a compassionate listener. From the life story of your loved one I create – always in close consultation with you – a deeply personal eulogy.

Together we remember the person who has passed away, with their personality at the centre – and here and there, perhaps, even a gentle smile. In a dignified farewell ceremony we let their life pass before us once more, with words of appreciation and comfort.

So you don't have to worry about anything

Frequently asked questions

How quickly are you available?
Funerals usually cannot be planned far in advance – that is why I am available at short notice and arrange myself around the date of the farewell. Just call me, we will find a solution.
How is the eulogy created?
In an in-depth, personal conversation – at your home, in a café or by video call – I listen to you and get to know the person who has passed away through your memories. From this, a very personal eulogy takes shape, which I of course coordinate with you.
Do you work with the funeral home?
Yes, coordinating the ceremony with the funeral home and everyone involved is part of my service. You don't have to take care of anything.
How much does a eulogy cost?
Creating and leading the funeral ceremony costs €600 – including the preparation meeting, the personal eulogy, coordination with the funeral home and travel within 60 km. All details on the prices page.
