- Namings | Patricia's Ceremonies
Naming Service adult or child, at venue of your choice, home, hospital. Naming Ceremony A Naming Service of a child is a joyous and memorable occasion that can be shared with family and friends. It is also a delightful way to celebrate and welcome a child into the family, and for the parents to make their commitment to the child that they will be the best parents they can be and to explain why they picked the child's name. Friends or family can be designated as ‘supporting adults’ who will play a part in caring and sharing their love and knowledge. Your Naming Ceremony can be a Spiritual or a non-secular event, as an independent Minister I can carry out either for you. It can be held indoors in your own home, in a hotel or a community centre etc, perhaps outdoors in your back garden, in a park, at a beach, whichever is your choice and in certain circumstances in a hospital. If you decide to choose me as your celebrant we can meet either in person or on zoom, whatever you prefer and we can discuss the type of ceremony you would like and the location. I will supply a naming certificate which the parents and ‘supporting adults’ can sign and keep. There are many ways that you can celebrate a Naming Service. Tree planting is also a lovely way to commemorate this occasion or you could make a gift of seeds or bulbs for the guests to plant. A memory box could be created and the guests could bring something relating to the child’s birthday on that day. It could be a photograph, a gift, or a recorded message and if you like can be sealed during the Naming Ceremony and could be opened when they reach 18 or 21. Blowing bubbles is a great alternative to releasing balloons. Lighting candles whilst a poem is being read or music being played can be quite significant in the ceremony Having a sand ceremony is also quite poignant and it allows everyone to join in and as they add their sand it represents their commitment that they are willing to contribute to the well-being of the child. Another idea is to have a guest book that family and friends can sign and write a comment for the child to keep. My fee is £250 If the venue is outside the areas I work then I would need to charge extra for fuel

It could be a simple as when they met, how they felt about them and a funny story, maybe a photograph of them together.

- Scattering Of Ashes | Patricia's Ceremonies
Scattering of Ashes bespoke ceremony in a place of your choice Perthshire Scotland Scattering of Ashes The scattering of the ashes Ceremony can be carried out many different ways such as simply scattering the ashes upon the ground in a favourite location. You can scatter near trees and flowers and then gently rake them into the ground. The ashes could be sprinkled into prepared soil, or an eco-friendly urn purchased and placed in the soil where a bush or tree could be planted in their honour. Scattering the ashes by hand or pouring them from an urn is a bit cumbersome, but now the Funeral Director has scatter tubes in different sizes and the tubes do make scattering the ashes so much easier. You can also scatter the ashes on the edge of water or from a boat. A soluble urn can also be purchased which dissolves in the water and the ashes will naturally scatter. You may decide to scatter the ashes from a mountain top, an air balloon a plane or now from a drone. Your loved one may have preferred a simple cremation without the service, then a ceremony at a graveside where they wished their ashes to be buried in a grave beside a loved one. As you can see there are many different methods of scattering ashes, some more common than others. Giving you an example of the different methods that you can choose from I hope helps you to plan the ceremony that is right for you. My fee is £300 If the venue is outside the areas I work then I would need to charge extra for fuel Spreading ashes is legal in many locations, but it’s important to always check the local laws first

- Testimonials | Patricia's Weddings
Wedding Celebrant, Wedding Blessings, Vow Renewals, Baby Namings, Funerals, Scattering of Ashes and Memorial Ceremonies in Scotland Our wedding was not an easy one to orchestrate. We had been planning it from across the world, five hours behind, and putting a lot of trust in details that we had little control of until the day arrived. The celebrant for our traditional Scottish wedding was the area where our worries were the least. Patricia Millon was gracious, on-task, helpful, and thorough. No detail was too small, and she easily managed them with constant and clear communication. During the wedding we both felt calm, taken care of, and truly honoured by participating in such a sacred ceremony. It was everything we had imagined and more. Our guests found her charming and warm in nature. We even managed to knot our tartan correctly the first time with Patricia's steadfast coaching abilities! We highly recommend her for both her professionalism and good spirit. Mr. & Mrs. Herzfeld - Kressler Against the stunning backdrop of the Meditteranean and the ombre pink arch, the wedding ceremony was conducted by Patricia Millon and included a sand ceremony with sand the couple had collected from areas they love, including of course Spain Photography The Love Hunters Santa Catalina in Malaga A beautiful service by Patricia Millon accompanied by the amazing voice of Lucy Faye . We loved Eoin's special entrance with his grandmother who was also the ring bearer and thankfully took charge of them! During 16 years of doing weddings having forgotten the rings was a first for me! Hushed whispers milled around and eventually I had to tell Emily we were running behind, she had already predicted Eoin would forget the rings and everyone was just enjoying the heat dying down as they mingled. Back on track 40 minutes later it was such a joy to see Emily and Eoin finally exchange their vows (complete with rings!). Casa de la Era, Marbella . Photography Evergreens Laura Reviva Weddings & Events Patricia was absolutely brilliant in helping us plan and conduct our wedding. We wanted a small intimate wedding and she absolutely got it and delivered it perfectly on the day. We were planning our wedding from the south of England (wedding in pitlochry) so had little chance to talk to the venue in person. In visiting the venue to check up on preparations, Patricia was so so helpful in telling us what they had planned so far, and more importantly what they had missed out so we could chase the venue up to sort the final details. In this, she helped immensely! I would recommend Patricia to absolutely anyone looking to plan a wedding in the venue, I couldn’t think of a better celebrant. F. Newbery

- Memorials | Patricia's Ceremonies
Bespoke Memorial Services at a venue of your choice. Perth Scotland A memorial service resembles a Celebration of Life, with or without the remains of the deceased present, perhaps a photograph, or you may have an urn containing their ashes if they wished a simple Cremation without a service at the time of passing. Your memorial service will honour, commemorate and preserve the memory of the deceased and can take place weeks or even months after the funeral. It gives everyone the opportunity to remember their personality, the fun times, hobbies etc. This is also a special time for those who couldn't have a Funeral Ceremony or friends and family who didn't have the opportunity to get together to say their final farewell. Having a Memorial Ceremony allows you to have freedom of choice to choose the location you desire, it could be in the family home where you may wish to plant a tree or bush in the garden. Perhaps their favourite spot on a beach, in a park, a favourite restaurant or if they were involved in community work arrange an memorial to include an activity that everyone could join in, benefitting the community. You may wish to give a gift that guests can remember your loved one by, such as something to do with their hobbies etc. Whatever you decide upon I will conduct the service you wish. The Ceremony does not need to consist of a formal structure which means that you have the freedom to construct the service how you want. It can be as formal or relaxed as you wish. It can be Spiritual or non-secular. The choice is yours. My fee is £300 If the venue is outside the areas I work then I would need to charge extra for fuel
