Testimonials
  • As a member of the Home Funeral Network Mike supports families to have the funeral in whatever form they would like. For example family funerals with the body present at home. A funeral can also involve a whole community and take place in a wide variety of venues. Although they can be inflexible and time limited, the Crematorium may also be appropriate.

    Planning a funeral or memorial can involve a lot of details and choices. Together with his partner Celia (also a Soul Midwife), can offer help manage the whole event including catering through Cafemmm.

    Mike is open to expressions of spirituality from a wide variety of sources and able to hold the space for those without. A teacher of Transcendental Meditation for over forty years, Mike knows that as well as words and music, silence and presence deepen a meaningful ceremony.

    Trained with Green Fuse as an Independent Celebrant Mike’s training also includes Soul Midwifery and as an End-of-Life Doula with Living Well Dying Well and can support the person and family through the end of life transition when someone dies.
