Rune Meissel

Rune Meissel is an independent funeral celebrant serving families in the Lüneburg and Hamburg areas. She creates and leads personal farewell ceremonies, helping relatives shape a meaningful tribute to someone who has died. Her work includes individual conversations with the family, writing a bespoke funeral speech, and guiding the ceremony with sensitivity and care.

Meissel offers services in German as well as bilingual ceremonies in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, adapting the languages used in the conversations, speech, and ceremony to suit each family. Her approach recognises that every person’s life and every family’s experience of loss are unique. By listening closely and attending to personal details, she aims to find words that honour the person who has died and support those gathered to say goodbye.

Client testimonials describe her speeches as compassionate, vivid, and deeply personal, and her guidance as helping families create a fitting setting for mourning, remembrance, and appreciation of life
