Hello. My name is Michael Blakey. Thank you for taking the time to look at my website.

You may be doing this because you’re suddenly faced with the reality of organising a funeral for someone you love; or you’re helping a friend do the same. You may be looking to organise a memorial for someone following their funeral, or putting a plan in place for your own funeral. It would be my privilege to support you in any of these circumstances.

The responsibility for planning a funeral can seem daunting; sometimes unexpected and often when you’re feeling least able to cope. Losing someone you love is always difficult. And if they weren’t religious, a religious funeral can feel inappropriate or just plain wrong.

Help is at hand. You can read more about me and planning a non-religious funeral ceremony using the tabs above.

I’m a Humanist Celebrant and a member of the Humanist Ceremonies network, trained and accredited by Humanists UK who’ve been helping people mark life’s most significant moments since 1896. I conduct unique, inclusive, and meaningful non-religious funerals and celebrations of life in Bath, Bristol, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset and West Wiltshire.
