Minister for Funeral Service

I am a Non-Denominational Universalist Minister that performs Funeral and other Spiritual services as my full time vocation.
I work with all the major funeral homes in Johannesburg – Collinges, Doves , Martins, Avbob, Thom Kite as well as smaller funeral homes and chapels.

My forte is doing services for more non-religious people who do not want a traditionally over religious service, for example “Believers who are not necessarily church going”. I am also a good choice for Suicide and Atheist/Agnostic services.
Essentially, I deem myself to be a Spiritual Master of Ceremonies.

Meeting with the family a day or two before the service assures a perfect service.
