Rites of Value
Where the important times in our lives can be marked or celebrated in a personally meaningful way
Menu
In times past, people had a stronger connection with a church or community leader that they went to in times of celebration or ceremony. Someone they knew and trusted would help them mark their important family occasions.
Families have recognised rites of passage that should be marked to help us remember, celebrate and cope with change – births, marriages and the end of life.
Increasingly people don’t have an obvious link with a church and find that at the times we need most support, we are left alone to organise what should be a memorable occasion.
A celebrant can help you to design meaningful ceremonies or celebrations, with your personal values in mind, to make precious memories and help find spirituality in a secular society
For those with faith – no faith – some faith – shared faith – uncertain faith – unique faith
Your event should be inclusive of your individual values and include items of meaning for you.
