"My name is Eddie, and I discovered I am passionate about creating designs for invites to parties I have arranged.
A few years ago, I needed orders of service for a wedding and a couple of funerals. The cost to have these done by other professionals was expensive. So, I set about doing it myself.
You'll be surprised how difficult it really is.
A few years later, I found myself in a different position, where I wanted to write a eulogy for a personal funeral in my own family. At the time, I didn't realise how difficult that would be, especially when everyone I spoke to about it had various thoughts and things, they wanted me to include. Most think you just write a few paragraphs, and the vicar goes away and tidies it up.
However, on this occasion, I wanted to be the one to write it in my own words and hand it to the vicar to read. On the day when I wanted everything to go well, I was left thinking; I hope I did my loved one proud. I like to think I did.
Having offered my services of Eulogy writing and designing the Orders of Services for weddings and funerals to friends and family, why not start doing this professionally? After some research, I discovered there was such a thing… it was the role of a celebrant.
So, I researched available training courses. Through a recognised Fellowship of Professional Celebrants company, I booked, attended, completed, and qualified on a certified course for celebrants.
Doing so made me more confident in offering support and comfort to families when meeting them at their most challenging times to compose a totally bespoke and heart-warming fitting eulogy and then write the whole celebration of life service on a professional. This also enabled me to then write words professionally for people.
Now, I am able to not only offer a range of writing services, but also attend and conduct a wide range of ceremonies and additional services.
Thank you for reading, and I look forward to working with you to make your next event extra special."
