How I can support you
A funeral is an important occasion to celebrate a life and say goodbye to someone who mattered to us. There is more freedom than many people realise to shape a ceremony that is unique to the person who has died and that truly reflects their life and what they meant to those left behind.
1. Listening to your choices
I meet with family and friends to hear about the person who has died and we can plan a ceremony that reflects who they were. You have choices about the music, readings and tributes that will enable you to say goodbye in just the right way.
2. Finding the right words
I write a script for the whole service that captures the right tone and weaves together the elements in our plan. If you wish, I can write a eulogy (approved by you) to be read at the service, or can support you to write your own tribute.
3. Leading the service
On the day, I lead the service and am there to support you throughout. I aim to deliver with warmth, respect and personality so the service feels true to the person we are honouring and a safe place for family and friends to grieve.
Your Voice, Your Choice, Your Ceremony
Whether a funeral is held at a crematorium, includes a burial, or is a memorial service in a public space or building, as an independent celebrant I can lead the ceremony. Whilst the services I lead are non-religious, they can reflect spiritual beliefs and include hymns and readings like the Lord’s Prayer if that is what you want.
Where I work
Most of my work is across Somerset, North Somerset, Bristol and Gloucestershire.
If you would like me to lead a service outside this area that may be possible – please get in touch and we can discuss.

WOW! It's absolutely perfect. You've captured exactly what I wanted to get across about mum. Thank you so much.
