Filming a Beautiful, Inclusive Funeral Ceremony with Music, Dance and Love
This was one of the most fluid and heartfelt ceremonies I’ve had the privilege to film. Friends and family gathered in a warm, open space where tributes were shared naturally and spontaneously. There was no strict format—just a safe, sacred environment where memories, gratitude and emotion could be expressed freely.
A Celebration of Life with Music and Movement
The ceremony began with deeply moving Kirtan chanting led by Nikki Slade, whose voice and energy helped everyone ground and connect. Later, we witnessed the entrancing performance of Tara, a Whirling Dervish dancer, adding a beautiful, symbolic rhythm to the farewell.
This was a peaceful, spiritual and love-filled goodbye, honouring the unique journey of the person being remembered.
Supporting the LGBTQIA+ Community
It was also a joy to be supporting the LGBTQIA+ community, with an atmosphere of inclusion, authenticity and acceptance. As with every ceremony I document, my approach is one of sensitivity, discretion and respect for all beliefs, identities and traditions.
Whether filming a traditional service or a more alternative, personal celebration, my goal is always the same: to capture the moments that matter most and preserve them beautifully for families to keep and reflect on.
