Choosing an independent funeral celebrant is about honouring life with dignity and personalisation. Every life deserves a unique tribute reflecting its spirit. I provide a bespoke service tailored to the deceased's values and memories, prioritising your family's needs and crafting a meaningful ceremony that resonates with all attendees.

I create memorable experiences, offering compassionate guidance and a heartfelt eulogy while encouraging family contributions. I manage logistics respectfully, honouring your family's wishes and cultural elements. An independent celebrant ensures a loving farewell, allowing for a dignified tribute to your loved one. Trust my experience to create a fitting homage.

If you are organising a funeral, I will meet with you—virtually or in person, as you prefer—to understand the deceased's wishes and your own. If you are working with a funeral director, I will coordinate with them and inform them of your funeral service choices, including any decisions regarding printed orders of service. I will collaborate with friends, family, or care-home staff to create a uniquely personal and fitting ceremony for your loved one.

Together, we can select music and readings for the service. I will write a ceremony and eulogy that reflect the deceased's values, beliefs, and personality and lead the funeral service according to your wishes. After the funeral, I will provide you with a commemorative copy of the readings, eulogy, and blessings.

I write and deliver funeral services for cremations and burials, including woodland burials. My services cater to people of all religious beliefs and those with none. My approach can be traditional or celebratory.

I recognise that children often have specific wishes and needs during a funeral. Having worked with young people, I have significant experience supporting children in emotional circumstances. If parents request it, I will help involve children and grandchildren in creating a ceremony that supports them in their grieving process.

I am committed to continuous professional development as an independent celebrant and have adopted the Funeral Celebrancy Council’s Celebrant Accord.

My fees for funeral celebrant services are £250.
