John Else

Hi, I’m John. The ceremonies I lead are unique. I love telling people’s stories with sincerity and energy. Whether it’s a eulogy at a funeral or the romance story at a wedding it should be written and delivered beautifully. Those who hear it should find it enthralling and memorable, genuine and heartfelt. That’s what I do.

Captivating stories come from you. That’s why I’ll take the time to connect with you. I always say, “Time flies when the stories start to flow.” So I’ll never make you feel hurried and I’ll go wherever your thoughts take us. I’ll send you the story once it’s written and I’ll work with you to revise it in whatever way necessary to get it spot on. Then I’ll deliver it with tenderness and passion. Often, after a eulogy, I’m asked how long I’d been friends with the deceased, even when I’d never met them in life.

My ceremonies are non-religious or Christian depending on you. My training came through the church, but everyone’s on their own journey. I was extremely proud of the funeral I led for my father who was not a religious man. And yet, when it’s appropriate I am absolutely delighted to lead the prayers.

Whether it’s a funeral, wedding or dedication, I look forward to hearing from you.
