#098. Let's Chat... about the amazing part that colour can play at a funeral. Let’s Chat episodes are with guests who have experience/expertise in a particular area of loss. In this episode, I (Claire Sandys) chat to the very lovely Jen Watson, a Funeral Celebrant in Kent. I first heard about Jen on our Funeral-Director-Work-Experience trip to North Wales. Back then she was known as Jen Wilkinson, but now she has a new name, a new patch to work on, and it was great to finally connect with her.Jen setup JW Celebrancy in 2021 after qualifying as a Funeral Celebrant and has cultivated a very vibrant way to brand her services - which I was eager to chat to her about. Jen offers empathetic and colourful services for bereaved families to help them share their loved one’s final life-story. She has a beautiful way of involving colours in a funeral (which leaves you desperate to get a glimpse at her wardrobe) and shares how she's developed this, and why she's never led a service in full black.It's a great conversation that will make you smile and well-up, and inspire you when it comes to funeral planning, as well as give you a whole new take on how other people celebrate their loved ones when they die.For more about Jen, visit her website or social media:https://jwcelebrancy.co.uk/https://www.facebook.com/JenWatsonFuneralCelebrantJWCelebrancy https://www.instagram.com/jenwatsonfuneralcelebrant/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jen-jwcelebrancy/ And Jen is also the proud owner of Herman and did this great video on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/C2KIfpXs4dA/For my previous chats with Funeral Celebrants & Funeral Directors, visit: https://www.thesilentwhy.com/letschatFor Loss 43/101: Loss of life for a Funeral Director: https://www.thesilentwhy.com/podcast/episode/7abc6ce6/loss-43101-loss-of-life-for-a-funeral-director-jonathen-haSend us a textSupport the show-----thesilentwhy.com | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn What's a Herman? / Buy a Herman - thehermancompany.comSupport the show: buymeacoffee.com/thesilentwhySign-up to my mailing list (only used for sharing news occasionally!): thesilentwhy.com/newsletterHow to talk to the grieving: thesilentwhy.com/post/howtotalktothegrievingReview the show: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | GoodpodsEpisode transcripts: thesilentwhy.buzzsprout.comThank you for listening.
