She goes free of the earth. Grown lighter than breath she is set free in our remembering.” Wendell Berry

Come and train with us if, with the right support and teaching, you would like to kindly and skilfully accompany a grieving family, listen carefully to what they want, write an accurate and beautiful script with a sense of the sacred, and deliver this with warmth and calm reassurance.
