Sam Reagan – Celebrant for Funerals, Memorials and Pre-Planned Services

Prices

My Funeral Service Charges:

Please Note: There is no charge for those that have died under the age of 18: I waive my base fee, and charge only my actual out of pocket travel expenses.

Otherwise:

For Cremations and Burials:

Ordinary Length Service at a Crematorium (known as a single slot), or a Graveside Burial: £260 flat fee, which includes my expenses.

Longer Double Slot at a Crematorium, or an Indoor Service followed by Graveside Burial: £310 flat fee, which includes my expenses.

For Memorial or Remembrance Services within the M25:

For a 30 minute Memorial service at any venue you have arranged, £350 flat fee, which includes my expenses

Over 30 minutes and up to 60 minutes for Memorial Services, at any venue you have arranged, £400 flat fee, which includes my expenses

I always bring along a Bluetooth speaker, so that any service, anywhere, can include music.

For Ashes Interment/Scattering Only:

For a 15 minute service, including music, at any legal place for this within the M25: £120 flat fee, which includes my expenses

I am willing to travel beyond London and Kent to help you but if I live very far from you, I may ask you to cover any extra travelling expenses I incur for meetings with your family/to get to the service itself: but I will let you know this at the time we first discuss your needs.

Optional Extra Service Charges

A personal video tribute made from family photographs and set to one track of music up to 4 minutes in length: is an extra charge of £50 on top of my regular fee, including a free copy to keep, which I will give to you on a USB. For longer tributes than 4 minutes, please talk to me about your needs and I’ll give you a quote.

If you prefer to upgrade from a USB to a Video Memory Book, I can supply these for an additional £80.

Home video footage can be incorporated to any photo slideshow I make for you, as well as photographs.

Any other special video/music requests: talk to me and I’ll give you a bespoke quote, based on the time it will take me to make it for you.

Finding live musicians to play at a service:

If you would like to have live classical musicians play in a service, I can help you find them and obtain quotes for their services. I know many of the very best available. Let me know you are thinking of this as soon as you can and we can discuss this in person when we meet.

Recent Comments: Thank you again for the service you provided for my mum’s funeral. The afternoon flowed beautifully. Your patience and encouragement to keep us going in very difficult circumstances was evident from the choosing of the songs to the committal words you found for us. I hope that your next clients appreciate you as much as we did.

Dear Sam, thank you so much for the wonderful service you gave us for my brother’s funeral. You put your heart and soul into providing all our thoughts and memories and joining that all interlinked with all our wishes and music. The video you made was so good, and I can speak for all at the service that they loved it all. It was amazing – really I must congratulate you on such a brilliant job you did for us.”

Where I Work

I mostly work throughout London and Kent: areas where I know the sights and sounds of the local communities very well. I'm happy to work anywhere in the UK and especially willing to travel, when my particular skills are needed.
Extra Skills I Bring to My Work as a Celebrant

I used to work in the Performing Arts, as a musician (violinist), having studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and joined a famous company in my first job. I learnt quite a few musical instruments as a child- some of which I gave up, some I kept going. I performed across the world, both live and on film and video game soundtracks. I've also performed in wedding, funeral, memorial and fundraising events for the Royal Family and once, even at the Vatican, for Pope John Paul II. Music is still so important to me: I am constantly listening to music of all kinds.

I am able to offer families expert help with the music and/or video for the service- it can be so important to have that handled personally. I can make photo slideshows for you to keep and can collect the photos from you, or scan them, when we meet.

If the funeral venue does not have equipment to play music, I have a range of portable equipment I can bring, to suit every size of venue and acoustic: even for services outdoors and if we are unfortunate enough to encounter rain. If you are holding a funeral or memorial service in a non-traditional setting, and need to have it streamed online: I can recommend someone absolutely excellent whose work I have personally seen.
