#076. Let’s Chat… about the ups and downs of life as a Funeral Celebrant in North Wales.

In these Let’s Chat episodes, I (Claire Sandys) chat to a guest who has experience or expertise in a particular area that can help us deal with, or prepare for, loss. Today's topic is funerals.

In this episode I’m talking to Sarah Boalch, a Funeral Celebrant from North Wales. Sarah runs ‘Ceremonies with Personality’ and helps families by creating bespoke ceremonies that cover every life milestone we might go through. But she didn’t set out to be a funeral celebrant, and in this conversation we talk about how her career took an unexpected turn. 

Sarah and I explore how she copes with funerals and grieving people (when she's someone that cries easily with others), what the process is when she initially meets with a bereaved family to get information for the funeral, and what has her best experience been at a funeral?

For more about Sarah visit her website or social media:

And with each Let’s Chat guest I'm building a whole tool shed (metaphorically), of tools to help you face and get through loss, so far I've acquired spades, clamps, rakes, spirit levels, shears, forks, gloves, glasses and even compost and a chair. And Sarah adds something new to my growing bundle of tools - tune in to see what it is.
