Becky Rechter
Community Funeral Director
Independent Funeral Celebrant and Soul Midwife
I am a Green Fuse trained independent funeral celebrant.
I am also a soul midwife trained by Felicity Warner and a former palliative care nurse with over 25 years experience caring for the dying, the recently deceased and the bereaved.
​
What this means is that I have been trained to work from the heart to help people approach their own death, to care for the body and soul after death and to co create with you a bespoke and respectful funeral ceremony that bridges the gap between the sacred and the secular to fit perfectly with both your loved ones unique beliefs and your own.
​
My manner is warm and sympathetic and I bring a strong sense of love, spirit and ritual to the ceremonies I create.
How I can help you
I can help you create a beautiful funeral ceremony with heart and soul to always cherish in honour of your loved one.
I can help you care for the body of your loved one and hold the space for a ritual vigil/wake to care for their soul.
I can help you to find the right funeral director, or even, plan a complete DIY home funeral.
​
I can help you gain a greater understanding of what death means to you, this will help prepare you to walk your own unique journey of grief after the loss of a loved one. This can be especially helpful following an unexpected or traumatic death or when someone has chosen to take their own life.
​
I can also help you to create a memorial service or a ceremony to scatter ashes; this can take place any time from immediately after a funeral to many, many years later, and can often be really helpful if you have become lost or stuck in your journey of grief.
​
I can help you prepare to face your own death and even plan your own funeral ceremony.
​
I also acknowledge that the loss of an animal can be as painful as any bereavement and am happy to help you prepare for the death of a beloved pet and to care for the body and soul of your pet after death.
