Funerals

I am sorry for your loss. I officiate at non-denominational, religious, non-religious, traditional, and non-traditional funerals and memorial services for all people, regardless of gender, race or belief system. I customize the funeral ceremony or memorial service to what your loved one wanted and what the family now needs to aid in closure. I will give you guidance and suggest things so that no part of the service will be overlooked. 

I am an Ordained Minister with the Universal Life Church. I am non-judgmental and open-minded, and I do not affiliate myself with church or organized religion in the traditional sense. I believe in freedom of religion, which includes the freedom to have no religion. I respect the belief systems of all people, whether those beliefs concur with my own or not. I do not and will not use a funeral ceremony or memorial service as a platform to promote my personal beliefs, but to assist you in yours. I would be honored to provide creative support and guidance to you throughout this entire process.

I have many ceremonies to choose from or I can customize a ceremony just for you and your loved ones' needs. I will officiate in northern Illinois or southern Wisconsin.
