Marjon van Baar

Marjon van Baar provides personal ritual guidance for farewells and other significant life transitions. Based in Avenhorn, she serves West Friesland and the northern part of North Holland, working with families and funeral directors to create ceremonies that reflect an individual’s life, relationships, and wishes. Her approach is attentive and flexible, without fixed formats, and brings together words, music, images, and meaningful symbols to offer comfort and connection.

Services include guidance for funeral and memorial ceremonies, writing and delivering personal speeches, developing rituals, and acting as speaker and ceremony leader. Marjon supports clients throughout the process, from an initial conversation and preparation of texts and ceremony plans to guidance on the day itself. She also helps people plan a farewell while they are alive, creating an opportunity to share their story and wishes with loved ones. Beyond funerals, her personal rituals can mark transitions such as a birth, move, relationship change, or health challenge.
