Celebrations of Life

What is a Celebration of Life?

At Brunel Funeral Directors, we believe that every life deserves to be celebrated in a way that truly reflects the individuality and spirit of your loved one. Our Celebration of Life service offers a unique and personal approach to saying goodbye, allowing family and friends to gather, share memories, and pay tribute in a setting that feels right.

A Celebration of Life is a service that moves beyond the basic funeral format, focusing on honouring and celebrating the life of the deceased in a more personal and uplifting manner. Whether it’s through sharing cherished memories, playing favourite songs, or simply raising a glass in tribute, this service is designed to capture the essence of your loved one’s life.

Unlike a traditional funeral service, a Celebration of Life allows you to create a ceremony that is as unique as the person being remembered. We have a choice of carefully selected venues to choose from.  Invite family and friends to participate and structure the service in a way that feels most meaningful to your loved one.

From the day my family stepped into your office, you showed them full support and made them feel at ease. I would like to thank Craig and Louise & all the other staff for the support and comfort you gave myself and my family. Every bit of detailed we asked for whilst our mother was in your care you done for us all above and beyond. We cannot thank you all enough. X

We were recommended Brunel, by family friends, when my mother-in-law passed away. From the very start Louise and Chris led my husband and I with kindness, understanding and professionalism. Nothing was too much trouble and what is a difficult period, was made far less stressful with their help. We can highly recommend Brunel and are thankful they were recommended to us!

From the moment we entered Brunel we felt at ease. Craig was kind, considerate and very professional. He assured us there was no rush and gave us the time we needed over the next few weeks to arrange my mum's funeral how I wanted it. On the day, Chris and his colleagues arrived in plenty of time and were very helpful and patient and helped us fit a car seat. I cannot recommend them highly enough, they made a very hard day easier.

I would highly recommend Brunel Independent as Louise made it feel very personal and was excellent at explaining each stage of this daunting process, without being intrusive in any way. The team can arrange practically anything you would like, which helped to make it feel as comfortable as it could do on the day, where Chris and the team were amazing. Thank you.

I’m so glad I chose this company following the death of my grandson . They helped us deal with his death with such empathy and kindness. Nothing was too much trouble and they made us feel comfortable and at ease . Each and every member of the team acted at all times with the utmost professionalism and were never surprised at the requests that we made no matter how strange ! We chose a non religious ceremony and had a celebrant Joss who was amazing . I would not hesitate to use them again if I ever have the misfortune to have to arrange another funeral a big thank you to Louise Chris and Craig xxx
