Financial Support
Ceremonies are expensive and funerals tend to happen unexpectedly, which is why I make provision in the services I provide which I run as much as a social enterprise as a business. This is why I am able to provide support for those who are, for financial reasons, are finding it difficult to put together the ceremony they want. I can do this by deferring payment or even by not charging for the service I provide. See below for how I may be able to help and don't be shy about asking, I am liberty to say yes or no.
Funerals
Deferred Payment
Sometimes when a relative passes away the funding available for a ceremony is locked away in their estate or with an insurance company. In cases such as this I am willing to defer payment for up to 90 days, or even longer if reasonable grounds, such as probate, can be cited.
Free of Charge
There are many cases where the deceased or the family have not made provision for a funeral, either because it is unexpected or financial hardship has just not made it possible. Because of this I am willing to forgo my fees, only charging for my travel expenses in the form of mileage. You can refer to my fees page for details of what these charges are.
Other Ceremonies
I personally believe that financial issues should not prevent people for celebrating a wedding or a birth, or indeed any other life event. Which is why if this is preventing you from planning your event then I am willing to consider doing this free of charge, only charging for my travel expenses. If this is the situation you find yourself in then why not send me an email and tell me your story and I will do what I can to help.
