Funeral Celebrant Services

Honouring, commemorating and celebrating someones life is a precious process. A celebrant-led funeral offers the opportunity for a unique ceremony, truly reflecting one's life in all its fullness.

My funeral celebrant services ensure that the ceremony is in calm, caring, creative and compassionate hands.

The preparations and planning for a funeral can be challenging at such an emotional time. I will spend time gently getting to know you and understanding all about your loved one. Respecting this is a sensitive time and going at your pace. With each life being so different, each funeral will reflect this and I will actively encourage ideas from families and friends to create a ceremony that offers comfort and meaning.

What you can expect from a Funeral Celebrant

Reminiscing on your behalf, memories, stories, sharing the personality and essence of the individual whose life is being both remembered and celebrated. At such a tender time, a personalised, heart-led ceremony is an opportunity for rich reflection and to create a vivid picture of the life that was lived with meaningful words, gestures and rituals. Celebrating passions and hobbies, individual values, relationships and friendships, achievements and each unique legacy.

Rituals may include candle lighting, tree planting, rituals with rosemary, the herb of remembrance or anything that feels fitting.

I am honoured to conduct funerals, burials, cremations and connected ceremonies wherever you choose and am happy to explore options with you. It is important to note that services at crematoriums are time limited. Other funeral celebrant services include memorials, interment of ashes, living funerals and pet funerals.

Consultation

I will meet with you, usually in your home but can be elsewhere if preferable. This time is for me to get a picture of the person who has died, a sense of their character, their stories, memories, passions. What made them laugh? How would they like to be remembered?
