Hello, my name is Ian Harris. I live in Bramham (between York and Leeds)

I conduct funeral ceremonies mainly in Yorkshire but am happy to travel further afield on request. ( I also have experience of conducting online memorials to loved ones).

My role is to help you to mark the passing of a loved one in a special and individual way – a role that I find very rewarding.

Your personal ceremony will be all about celebrating the deceased in a manner that they deserve that truly reflects the person they were and the values they held. One that reflects your loved one with warmth, honesty and dignity

 

I aim to work with you and your funeral director, to help you and guide you through the process of creating a fitting celebration of a life.

I can conduct ceremonies in various venues, crematoria, chapels of rest, graveyards and woodland burial sites or if you wish multiple venues (e.g. a service of remembrance in a special venue follow by a private committal at a later time)

I will help you with choices of music, poetry or readings to create a unique and special send off to your loved one. A celebration of their life.

 

Whatever the nature, scale or setting of the occasion, I promise that I will

• Meet with you at a time and place of your convenience
• Give you a personalised, sensitive and respectful service
• Explain the process the choices open to you and what you might expect
• Work closely with you to craft a ceremony that is individual, respectful and genuinely reflects the person or people at its centre

After the service I will

• Provide you with a presentation copy of the ceremony to share with those who are unable to make the service and to look back on in years to come
