“I wanted to thank you properly for all you did to make the day special for us all as a family. You truly captured my father in the words you spoke and likewise in your delivery” Alistair Noakes

Together we can make your funeral ceremony what you want it to be.  I can be as much or as little involved in the ceremony as you would like but my role is to make sure you can use the time available to say a heartfelt goodbye

Being a funerals celebrant is a very privileged role and one that I take seriously.  It doesn’t mean that there shouldn’t be fun and laughter where appropriate but it does mean that I treat the moment with the respect, warmth and empathy it deserves.  We have one life and I feel it is important to come together for a moment to  celebrate, or mark, that life before moving on with our lives.

Whether your ceremony is at the graveside, in a crematorium, a memorial service for many or just a deeply private moment of goodbye I am very happy to discuss what seems right for you. Don’t hesitate to call me on +447788665412 or email lizcarlilecelebrant@gmail.com  for an initial conversation.

Humanists UK celebrants are fully trained and regularly monitored so you are in safe hands. My ceremonies are for the non-religious but they are inclusive so if you have family/friends who wish to express their grief or love from a faith perspective this can be part of the plan.  I believe myself to be approachable, personable and empathetic and used to working with people from many different cultures and backgrounds

Mini-me: Music, dancing and going to festivals are a favourite. Artistic, creative with a love of writing and experienced public speaker and event host. I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life, all genders and all cultures and hearing about their lives.  Play sport, walk the dog, trying to grow dahlias, and feed on a glut max of allotment courgettes every summer in between hanging out with the grandchildren, family and friends.
