Let me work with you to create the perfect funeral or memorial for your loved one.

The death of a loved one is a uniquely personal experience; every bereavement is different, and we all experience grief in different ways. I will help you to create a ceremony that is as unique as the person you are commemorating; a chance for people to come together to remember the life of your loved one and to say a collective and dignified goodbye. This could be in a funeral setting, or it could be a memorial held at a later date.

As a Humanist, I believe that we each have just one life, and when that life comes to an end it deserves an act of remembrance that is truly personal and meaningful. There is no right or wrong way to approach a funeral –

• You may know just what needs to be said, or you may want to share your stories with me so I can help to find the right words
• You may have lots of ideas about music and readings, or you may want some help with finding something that feels right
• You may have family members who want to stand up and speak, or you may have people who want to contribute in other ways

Whether you want a lively and interactive ceremony or a quiet, reflective one I can guide you through the options to find what works for you and your loved one.

Please feel free to give me a call for an informal chat with no obligation.

“Anne captured the essence of my dad beautifully during the ceremony and we had such positive feedback from attendees with many saying it was the nicest funeral they had been to.” Louise, Bristol

“The ceremony provoked a lot of conversation and memories of my mother amongst the guests – which is exactly what we wanted. Basically, it was all about my mother – we could not have hoped for more.” Nick, Bath
