You can read what I had to say about the Humanist Tribute Archive and my experience as a a celebrant on Poppy’s blog.  Poppy’s is a Funeral Directors in London that prioritises choice, flexibility and outstanding care.

My special thanks to Graham Downes,  a brilliant and very experienced celebrant who has been my mentor. He has a thoughtful and eloquent page on his website based on his experiences of humanist ceremonies which is well worth a read https://humanist.org.uk/grahamdownes/humanism/

My thanks also to Anya Rice who kindly took the photographs for the main page of this website. Anya and I met on a train, which led to a photo shoot and a new friend. She is very talented, here is her beautiful website featuring her interiors and portrait photography https://www.anyarice.com/

Thank you to Julian Dickens, a fellow celebrant and an expert on legal matters related to communications. His page on the GDPR (general data protection regulations) has been most helpful for our network. Julian is a wonderful and creative celebrant covering Kent https://humanist.org.uk/juliandickens/
