"The Best Celebration Of Your Life"
Thank you for visiting our page, we are Peter Wyllie and Eugene Mathias. We have been trained to the highest level as Independent Funeral Celebrant and are members of The Fellowship of Professional Celebrants.
Both Eugene and Peter are of the same opinion of the benefits of having a celebration of life with family and friends before you die. So they formed the Living Funeral Association, which is a network of professional Celebrants trained to plan, organise and host a ‘Celebration of Life (This is Your Life).
Living Funeral Services
All members of Living Funeral Services have been professionally trained as Celebrants. They are certificated and accredited with a professional organisation and have full Public Liability Insurance.
Reasons for a Living Funeral
What is included in the package
Why Have a Living Funeral Service?
Most of us don’t like to think about death, but many of us have loved ones entering the twilight years of their lives. We think and plan traditional funerals, but what if you could honour them with a ‘Celebration of their Life’ while they are alive.
This is what we at ‘Living Funeral Services are about, giving you the opportunity to celebrate a loved one's life with family and friends.
Some may think it’s strange, but you’d be surprised how reassuring such an event is.

Reasons for a Living Funeral
- A living funeral is a way of providing comfort to family and friends.
- It enables the process of putting affairs in order before death.
- It gives family and friends an opportunity to express their feelings directly to the dying person (possibly including a eulogy, tribute or personal poems).
- It engages the whole family and prepare’s everyone for the inevitable.
- It helps the dying person to move on peacefully.
What is included in the package
- We will sit with you (and family) and guide you through the planning for a unique ‘Celebration of Your Life’ for you and your family.
- Set up an online Family Area for family members to put up memories and photos, especially those who live far away or cannot make the event.
- Produce an event plan and running order for your bespoke ‘Celebration of Your Life.
- Host the whole celebration for you.

Hosting Your Reception.
As a professional Toastmaster and Celebrant, I have been asked to host both the funeral service and reception.
For the reception I work with my wife Sheila, also a professional Toastmaster. Once the service is finished Sheila goes to the reception to make sure everything is ready for the arrival of the family and guests.
We meet everyone on arrival, I bring everyone together with a very special ice breaker which produces beautiful (paper) butterflies, a wonderful memento for all to keep to remember their loved one.
From the notes I have I host a reception I go through the story of your loved ones life and invite family up to recall their own memories as I come to them in the story. This works really well, it brings everyone together and allows them to talk and laugh about the good times they had and relive their own individual memories.
A great way to bring the day to an end.........with happy memories.
