Deep listening, presence, attention to detail and compassion make our Life Rites Doulas a gentle and informed companion for the heartbreaking loss of little ones, be this for babies, children or pre-term loss. Led by our team member, Kim Somerville, the Life Rites team have become specialists in creating time and space for the moments and rituals needed in these special circumstances.

Life Rites is able to support you and your family with hospital liaison, home vigils or viewing time in our lovely chapel, cremation or burial, rites and bereavement. We can arrange the return of ashes: a service which hospital cremations are unable to provide. We have experience in tailoring to specific needs and creating foundations for healing, even in unlikely circumstances. It would be an honour to be there for you.
