Memorial Services
As a lifecycle celebrant I also officiate end-of-life memorial services. It is such a great honor to work with families around this most difficult time, to create a meaningful celebration of life for their dearly departed. Honoring a person or beloved pet’s life is deeply healing for those who are left behind - a celebrant-style memorial service serves as a really important part of the grief cycle. It is truly a privilege to co-create these beautiful ceremonies.

"When my dear sister passed away unexpectedly, the thought of having to plan a service for her was unbearable, yet something that had to be done. Having previously attended a service conducted by Sacha Jones, I decided to contact her for help. Upon speaking with Sacha, I felt as though a weight had been lifted! From the beginning she gently and patiently led me through this most difficult process. Sacha discussed a variety of options for the memorial. She provided worksheets with questions about my sister’s life I’d not even thought of. From this, Sacha created a beautiful and complete tribute. On the day of the service Sacha provided a sacred space of warmth and love! She took threads from many people, and wove a most beautiful memory tapestry of my sister, and also invited my family and friends to come forward to share tender moments they had shared with her. That day Sacha wrapped us all in a warm blanket of Spirit. I will be forever grateful to her!" ~ Eileen

"I met Sacha at a memorial service for my soulmate’s sister. The occasion was extremely heart wrenching and painful. Sacha was so compassionate, so poignant and so caring that the moment shifted to celebrating a life. She brought together elements for the ceremony that focused the day on a reflection of joy, of memories shared ~ of a life well lived. Sacha - Thank you so very much." ~ Tom

"It’s the personal things. Everything Sacha does, she does from her heart with such empathy. Sacha took the service in both our Granny and Dad’s funerals, and they were both so beautiful! Sacha takes time to find out about the loved ones you’ve lost ~ the little stories, memories and facts about their lives. Creating a beautiful service of happy memories and love at such a sad time. SO personal and with real love and understanding for the loved and the lost. Hearing people say, “I want Sacha to do my funeral”, is a strange sentiment, but friends and family said it. And I concur. It is beyond storytelling, it truly is a celebration of life.” ~ Toni

"Sacha Jones brought peace, comfort and joy to the family and friends of Annette Ferguson. She led a unique service that allowed everyone to truly grieve and honor one of the most special souls I ever had the pleasure of knowing. Annette was extraordinary and a typical service would not have done her justice. Thank you Sacha for a memorable and meaningful service that touched my soul and connected me to Annette and her special one of a kind spirit." ~ Renee
