My name is Lisa Sharpe, and I’m a Funeral Celebrant with Humanists UK.

I am currently based in Swadlincote in Derbyshire but I am happy to travel across the East and West Midlands.

I chose to be a Funeral Celebrant after enduring loss myself. I wanted to show that having a funeral need not be religious or all doom and gloom and that it can also be a celebration of a life, where you can share memories and good times.

If you choose me to officiate a funeral for you then I will meet with you and other members of family and friends to get to know as much about your loved one as possible before writing the tribute.
This will then be sent to you for approval before the day.

You will also have the opportunity to include readings or poetry (That I can help with if needed) and to choose music that would be appropriate and fitting to listen to on the day.

You will also receive a presentation copy of the funeral tribute to treasure.

I also officiate Interments of Ashes, Memorials, and Natural Burials and I offer Pre-planned Funerals.

Ultimately the funeral is your day to say goodbye and YOUR ceremony that can be tailored to how you want. I will be there to guide you and make everything run as smoothly as possible.
