Newborn blessings, naming ceremonies, weddings, funerals and memorial services
At Tig-Le House, we recognise the importance of life’s significant moments and how ceremony can help us honour, celebrate, and find meaning in them.
Drawing on the wisdom and practices of Buddhist traditions, alongside contemporary and personal expressions of care, we offer meaningful ceremonies shaped in collaboration with individuals, couples, families, and community.
We hold our ceremonies with respect, regard, and deep affection, providing opportunities to celebrate new life, affirm relationships, honour loved ones, and come together in times of change, grief, and remembrance.
Community Engagement
Tig-Le House is an active member of our wider community. We collaborate with social and community groups, committees, not-for-profit organisations, and religious communities on initiatives that support healing, resilience, well-being, and responsible social change.
Ceremony can be a beautiful part of these shared efforts, bringing people together through reflection, compassion, connection and a sense of belonging.
Newborn Blessings & Naming Ceremonies
Personalised birth and blessing ceremonies are created in collaboration with parents and families to welcome and celebrate a new life.
These ceremonies offer an opportunity to express our hopes and aspirations for a child’s well-being, and to acknowledge the care and responsibility we share in protecting and nurturing life.
Drawing on the values of mindful living, we may include blessings and reflections on kindness, friendliness, compassion and the importance of caring for one another and the world we share.
Naming ceremonies can also be arranged as a meaningful way to welcome a child into their family and community.
Wedding Ceremonies
We can assist with preparing and conducting wedding vows and ceremonies, in collaboration with couples and their chosen celebrants.
Ceremonies may include contemporary or traditional Buddhist vows, prayers, blessings and rituals, shaped around your values, aspirations and relationship.
A wedding ceremony offers a meaningful opportunity to affirm love, commitment, mutual care and the shared responsibilities of life together.
Our ceremonies are inclusive and welcoming of people from all backgrounds, cultures, beliefs, identities and ways of life, honouring each person’s values, relationships and wishes, and diverse family traditions.
Funerals & Memorial Services
We offer support in creating meaningful funeral and memorial services that honour the life of a loved one and provide space for grief, remembrance, gratitude and compassion.
Drawing on traditional Buddhist prayers and contemplative practices, we can assist with personalised prayers, readings and rituals that reflect the life, relationships and values of the person being remembered.
These services offer an opportunity for family, friends, and community to come together in support, acknowledge the truth and changes loss brings, and share wishes for peace and well-being.
You are welcome to refer family, friends or clients to contact us at tiglehouse@gmail.com through your funeral director, celebrant, church, community organisation or chosen venue. We are experienced at working collaboratively with those involved to help create a meaningful and respectful ceremony.
Wongkur Ceremonies
Tig-Le House holds regular Wongkur ceremonies, drawing on the Vajrayana Buddhist tradition.
Wongkur is a sacred ceremonial practice involving meditation, symbolic ritual and the transmission of blessings. At Tig-Le, we describe this as the Sacred Art and Theatre of the Heart and Imagination — a contemplative practice that brings together sacred imagery, intention, devotion and the cultivation of compassion and wisdom.
These ceremonies offer opportunities to engage with the deeper dimensions of Buddhist practice through ritual, reflection and shared participation.
