When a family doesn't speak Swedish, who do you call?

English-language funerals, memorial services and life celebrations by Christopher Gillan-Horn
SERVICES

What I offer

Funerals

The formal service, with or without burial or cremation, built around what the family wants said and how they want it said.

Contact Us

Memorial services

Often held separately from the funeral, sometimes weeks later, for family and friends to gather and remember together.

Contact Us

Life celebrations

A more informal, personal gathering that doesn't follow a fixed structure, shaped entirely around the person being remembered.

Who this is for

An international family living in Sweden. A Swedish family with relatives flying in from abroad. Someone who has lived here for years and simply wants the service in English. If any of that sounds like your situation, this is the right place to start.

How it works

We speak directly, so I can gather timeline details, biographical information and your specific wishes.

I write the script and share it with you. You approve every word in writing before anything is delivered.

I coordinate with the venue on music timing, seating and any chapel-specific requirements.

I deliver the ceremony on the day, on time and in clear English.

Why families work with me

I spent over fifteen years as a pastor across three churches, standing in front of grieving families more times than I can count. I know how to hold a room, speak plainly without sounding rehearsed, and write a script that sounds like the person being remembered rather than a form letter.
