FUNERAL SPEECHES
Walking with you through the last transition.
Saying goodbye is the biggest transition there is. Emma Bushin-Reimann gives these transitions a voice too.
Words need a voice.
Hear what saying goodbye can feel like.
“Emma wrote the eulogy for my mother. I cried, but they were tears of emotion. Even three years later, it’s still the piece about her that I return to most often.“
ELENA R. – HILDESHEIM
What I do
My entire vocation began with this one transition: The final one.
As a funeral celebrant I create non-religious ceremonies that don’t speak about a person, but for them. I take the time to tell the story that needs telling honestly, personally, bespoke without any empty phrases. A speech in which the people grieving recognise the unique person they’ve lost.
● Bespoke eulogies and secular ceremonies.
● Personal conversations with the family.
● A speech that gives comfort when words are hard to find.
How We Work Together
We talk
Quietly — in person, by phone or video — you tell me about the person we’re saying goodbye to. The memories, the quirks, the moments, everything that should be remembered.
I listen & write
Within a few days your words take shape as a first draft. We refine it together until it feels right and truly sounds like them.
I’m there
I come to the service and give the eulogy for you. If you’d rather speak yourself, you’ll have a text that’s easy to read aloud.
If you’re planning a goodbye right now, you don’t have to take the next steps alone.
