My role as a funeral celebrant is to officiate a ceremony or a celebration of life helping you to plan, write and deliver a service that reflects how you want your loved one to be remembered.
As a celebrant, I am independent of any particular faith group.
I offer my services regardless of religion, faith, culture, sexual orientation or gender.
I am fully qualified and trained with The International College of Professional Celebrants.
You might not know where to start or you may have an idea already in place but together we will be able to create both a meaningful and heartfelt celebration of a life.
“I want to thank you so much for your extraordinary thoughtfulness and dedication to making our remarkable mother's memorial celebration so remarkable, and a very painful process so much easier to bear. You have been a tremendous comfort and a reassuring figure through this very difficult time and we are indebted to you.

“Thank you for an amazing service, you held my hand from start to finish and my friends thought the funeral service was the best they had ever been to - best funeral ever people are saying and my friend's children had such a good time, they asked mummy and daddy if they could go to another one soon.

As a celebrant, I believe that a good funeral is very important and can mark a gentle turning point to living without the presence of your loved one. Funerals are a place to grieve. We are saying goodbye; but the ceremony doesn’t have to be solemn without humour, inspiration or hope.
When writing a funeral ceremony be it non-religious, semi-religious or spiritual, it is my heartfelt intention to create a service which fittingly reflects the person we are remembering.
Your ceremony can be conducted within reason anywhere…at a graveside, a crematorium or cemetery chapel, a natural or woodland burial site, even a burial at sea…and nowadays there are many creative and unique ways to scatter cremation ashes.
“She was fantastic and I would have been lost without her. Everyone who attended the funeral remarked what an amazing service it was. I really can’t praise her enough.

“She was kind and compassionate, empathetic and caring, a pleasure to deal with.
