MOURNING SPEECHES

Silent participation is the companion hand.

We walk the path of farewell together. In remembrance.

Trust is based on the empowerment of the self.
Soul touches the fire.
There is abundance in the stagnation of the path.

Remember with love - Remember in silence - Say goodbye with dignity

Every person has their own story. Unfortunately, I can't take the sadness out of the farewell either. But I can make the ceremony lighter, more personalised and more comforting. As a funeral speaker, I know what really matters in a eulogy: the personality of the person who has passed away and their loved ones. There will be no empty phrases about life, death and grief - because there is so much to tell about a person, about their life, their work and their character. With me, there are no phrases that are spoken at almost every funeral service. My funeral speeches are as individual as the loved one was.  Strictly speaking, I don't give funeral speeches, but Life speeches. My speeches are not about death, they are about who the deceased was.

Personal funeral speech

Sometimes I am asked after a funeral speech: "You must have had a close relationship with him/her?". That's a nice compliment - the speeches I give leave a feeling of personal closeness to the deceased. However, this is only possible with an intensive preliminary discussion with the relatives to create a personalised speech and funeral service. I will take all your wishes, ideas and suggestions into account.  The funeral service will help you to say goodbye to a loved one. Whether secular or ecclesiastical. Whether at the cemetery, in the cemetery forest or at the crematorium. It is important to me that what was important to the deceased and what is close to the heart of their loved ones is said. I would like to support you so that you can say goodbye in a way that would have pleased the deceased, help you as a loved one and ease your pain.

Accompanying book for coping with grief - DER RUHE STILLE - Pictures of a close place

From the very beginning of existence, change fits into the arms of becoming, constantly touching the light in the darkness. Just as the course of time leaves every experience to ripen in passing, everything new imagines itself in the sustaining through the extensive being. Shaping one's own steps, the path always leads to one point: to becoming in passing. Finding oneself in a place that takes in everything that existed: releasing whatever was lived.
