‘When someone you love becomes a memory...that memory becomes a treasure.'
Anon.
If you’re planning a funeral, memorial, celebration of life or interment ceremony, I’m here to help.
As a Celebrant, I’m passionate about creating beautiful, personal, respectful and supportive ceremonies. Where life is celebrated as well as marking a passing. I can help you treasure memories with the perfect ceremony.
We can also explore the ceremony options you have, there is now so much more choice in how you mark a death and celebrate a life.
We can plan a celebration of life if a burial or cremation has already taken place.
You’ll be in my safe, creative, supportive hands.
Just get in touch and we can talk through your ideas and any questions you might have.
Let me guide you
I know how daunting even knowing where to start can be, especially when there is so much to think about and so many decisions to make in a short amount of time after someone dies.
That’s where I come in - I’m here for you.
As your Celebrant, together we’ll take a life story and create a beautiful, meaningful ceremony.
I’ll help you look at how the ceremony comes together, and what you want to include. Take you through suggestions for readings and music and help you find the right words.
I’m adding the uniqueness - the things that will bring reflection but also smiles, laughter, love and hope. As an independent celebrant, I can include whatever is right for you, prayers, elements of faith or rituals are all ok.
I’ll support you through the process and lead the ceremony on the day, whether you’re coming to me through a funeral director or you’ve come to me directly.
Just get in touch and we can talk through your ideas.
I'm here to listen
I asked my friends how they would describe me, they said I was ‘empathetic, wise, caring, warm, a good listener and a safe pair of hands’.
Sadly I’ve experienced a lot of loss. I’ve experienced grief in many different ways. I’ve been there and I hope this can help you.
I’m passionate that every ceremony should be full of beautiful words and tell a very personal and unique story.
What happens next?
We’ll get together, face-to-face, online or on the phone. Together we’ll just talk about your loved one, go through your memories, your thoughts on music, readings, and prayers (remember anything is ok to include) and I’ll start creating the ceremony for you.
I can also do the work in looking for the perfect reading, prayer or music. And help to write the eulogies.
I’ll write a draft for you. This is your ceremony so you’ll be able to go through this and change, remove or add what you think is right.
We’ll then get to a final version ready for the day.
I’ll then lead the ceremony and support you, if you or anyone else reading are unsure, I can also step in.
I’m there for you all so you don’t need to worry.

Are you looking to plan your own funeral?
We don’t talk about death enough. Talking about it can take away the fear and uncertainty.
You might be thinking about planning your own funeral.
So you know that there’s an envelope stored away with all the details for your family, taking away some of the stress and for them to know exactly what you’d like in your words. I’ll work with you gently and compassionately to work through this.
And if you are thining about a ‘living funeral’ - as a Celebrant, I can help too, just get in touch, and we can talk through your thoughts to create the perfect ceremony together.
