Over the last 20 years, my career path has somehow always led me to a place where I have found myself working alongside people who were going through difficult life changing events, helping them make sense of situations, supporting them to put one step in front of the other, or providing pragmatic action to help do what needs to be done, in the right way.

I believe that the last wonderful thing we can do for someone is to give them a personal, appropriate and authentic funeral to celebrate and acknowledge their life, in the right way for them.

As a Celebrant it is a huge privilege to be able to work with those left behind to create a unique funeral ceremony fully tailored to a life, through its highs, joys, pain, achievements, interests and the legacy left behind.

Many people in Britain aren’t actively religious, yet often aren’t aware that when it comes to our funeral we have a choice about the sort of ceremony that best reflects our life and beliefs.

As more and more people experience Humanist Ceremonies, more and more people feel this is what they’d like for themselves or their loved ones, ensuring the time taken to ceremonially say goodbye is focused purely on the person and not religious context.

Many people who choose a Humanist funeral don’t formally recognise themselves as a Humanist, yet often share the ethics that we have one life to be lived, with kindness, positivity and compassion, or just want a non-religious funeral.

I work alongside both individuals organising a funeral for someone else, or wanting to pre-plan the detail of their own funeral and am happy to have a no obligation conversation about any questions you may have.
