Welcome to the information page for farewell ceremonies.
Please accept my condolences if you have just experienced a bereavement.
You'll be supported throughout the creation of the very best farewell your person deserves. There's only one chance to get it right, and your choice of celebrant determines both your experience on the day, and the memories you'll keep. I consider your trusting in me to create the most fitting farewell an immense privilege.
Here, you'll find information you can read when ready. It answers some FAQs, outlines some of the options available to you, and explains what happens when you book me for a funeral or memorial. If there is anything else you'd like to know - whether or not you'd like me to lead a service for you, or are just thinking ahead - I'm here to help, and just a click away, so get in touch.

Classic & Deluxe Keepsake Packs
|
Many families find having a copy of the service or tribute is a comforting memento and social record to keep within the family for posterity.
Current good practice for all celebrants is to offer a copy of the tribute as part of their service. Shortly after the service I will send you a presentation-quality copy of the tribute script in a pdf or Word document. You may share and print this yourself from the pdf, or if you prefer, I can create attractive printed presentation packs for you. Clients often order copies for other family or friends, especially those who couldn't attend. If you would like to purchase Classic or Deluxe print packs, order them direct after the service. Each pack is different and made to suit the individual, and supplies within Deluxe packs vary, so be aware that the contents may not be quite the same if further packs are ordered, but each will still be a lovely and tasteful memento. Posted keepsake packs contain only items that lie flat within the folder, so won't include any larger items that may be included in a pack which can be dropped off locally. Details are in the Souvenir link in the footer. |

'Celebrant Plus'
All families should have access to a properly qualified and experienced celebrant.
I'm a trained funeral celebrant, and further certified as a Coffin Club 'Celebrant Plus'.
I do more than lead funerals at the request of a funeral director. You may engage me yourself, or come to me first for funeral-related issues. Whether that's advice & signposting to a service you require, or arranging a funeral at home or at an alternative venue or time, I can help.

Booking Me
Hours of thought, creativity and love go into crafting each ceremony booked with me.
You'll be assured of the very highest standards and personal attention you'd wish for from a professional celebrant.
Each farewell script is bespoke. There's no templated 'insert name here' script or rigid format. It's as individual as the person it is created to honour; everybody deserves that, don't they?
Quality matters more than quantity. Each service is given the time it deserves to make it just right for you. I will only lead a few funeral services each week - not several each day!
So, to avoid disappointment, it's best to contact me to check my availability, and provisionally book me, as soon as you can. Ideally before the arrangement meeting with your funeral director or arranger, when the funeral date and time are set.
I'm independent - I work for you alone. I'm happy to work alongside your trusted funeral director, to ensure you get the very best service. Just tell me which one you've chosen, and I'll get in touch. I prefer direct bookings and payment, to 'third party disbursements' via a funeral home, but it's your choice, always.
