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 traveling expenses.

Otherwise:

For Cremations and Burials within the M25:

Single Slot Services: £260 flat fee, which includes my expenses. Longer Double Slot Services: £320 flat fee, which includes my expenses.

If you would like me to make a personalized digital slideshow of family photos set to music (approx. 4-5 minutes in length) , which is yours to keep, then the charge is £30 extra on the fee quoted above. [Single slot becomes £290 and double slot £350]

You can have a photo slideshow, which I make for you, played during the service itself, when a crematorium has the facility to play ‘Family Submitted Video Tributes’. Your Funeral Director can arrange this with the crematorium for you for a small charge.

For Memorial or Remembrance Services within the M25:

For a 30 minute Memorial service at any venue you have arranged, £360 flat fee, which includes my expenses

Over 30 minutes and up to 60 minutes for Memorial services, at any venue you have arranged, £430 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: £100 flat fee, which includes my expenses

For all kinds of Services, beyond the M25 : I may ask you to cover any extra traveling 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.

Funeral Service Pre-Needs Planning:

Charges are listed on the dedicated page on this website, you can find the link for these at the top of this page.

Optional Extra Service Charges

Slideshows, set to music and made from family photos to be shown during the service, with a copy for you to keep: £150, when I am not also taking the service.

Adding home video footage to any photo slideshow I make for you, an extra £20.

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 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:Just a short note of thanks for all your work on my late mother’s funeral service today. It was very much appreciated and made what is, understandably, a stressful event that much easier to bare. Best of luck for the future and I shall “sing your praises” to all who may need a humanist etc funeral celebrant.”
“Sam was very friendly and easy to deal with in such a sad time. She took great care in understanding the details of my grandmothers life to the extent that 80% of attendees later contacted me to say how they felt it touched them personally as the details were so relevant to their memories. Sam’s voice and presentation was perfect and it made for a very respectful and personal good bye to a exceptional lady.” (from her grandson)

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.
