Our Philosophy
Compassion and Support
Many people want to use ceremony and ritual to celebrate the important times in their life and death but may not feel supported by an organised religion.
Sacred Shrouding is affiliated with the LifeRites organisation which was established with the intention of helping these individuals to create meaningful rituals.
Our aim at Scared Shrouding is to offer practical advice, guidance and support on shrouding and how it can be incorporated into the funeral ceremony.
We respect the individual's spiritual beliefs wihtout judgement and work with you to create your ceremony. You always have the final say over the outcomes as this is your ceremony.
We believe in equality and celebrate cultural and spirituality diversity.
We hold four basic principles as the foundation of everything we do:
-
Professionalism
-
Service
-
Respect
-
Responsibility
We acknowledge your right and ability to perform your own ceremonies if you choose and, indeed, actively encourage you to do so.
Sacred Shrouding respect the beliefs and wishes of the individual but understand that we are not part of their family (especially in bereavement).
As supportive professionals, we accept that our clients’ decisions are not ours to make. We will provide guidance and information, but ultimately, we will follow your decisions as much as possible.
