your funeral celebrant
A Celebration Of Life, Tailored to You & Your Loved One
Welcome, and sorry for your loss.
If you are here for yourself, read on, but make sure you head to my ‘SWAN SONG’ page as this will be incredibly helpful for you.
With me, you’ll have the opportunity to create a ceremony that honours the uniqueness of your loved one while offering comfort and even hope. It’s a journey from mourning to living and loving in grief. I provide the space for you to reflect, remember, and even find joy in the memories you’ve shared.
Every life is special, and every funeral I guide will be too.
A Funeral Ceremony with Heart and Soul
Personalised, Meaningful Funeral Ceremonies
What sets my approach apart is my dedication to creating a ceremony that authentically honours the entire journey of your loved one’s life.
I’m here to offer the space you need to honour your loved one…
My background in theatre management and production shapes how I approach funeral ceremonies – it’s all about love in its purest form. Whether incorporating spiritual elements, cultural traditions, or personal touches like a favourite song or hobby, I create heartfelt services inspired by your loved one’s life and values. From intimate Quaker gatherings to grand celebrations with opera singers or electric guitars, I’ve facilitated it all – including dancing a loved one out to Lady in Red (there were tears and smiles – it was very powerful).
Specialising in natural burials and ashes interments, I bring sustainability and storytelling to the heart of every ceremony. Think of me as your ceremony producer, here to guide and align every detail. I’m well-connected in the industry, from recommending trusted funeral directors and florists to natural burial grounds like Clandon Wood Nature Reserve. Whether you have a clear vision or need help shaping one, I’d love to hear their story…
My role is to ensure that everything and everyone is aligned.
The Incredible Power Of Choice
There is a beauty in working with an independent celebrant. Working with me, you have the complete freedom and flexibility you need, whilst providing the expertise to guide you every step of the way. Whether you want a simple, quiet service or a grand, symbolic celebration.
I’ll help you create a ceremony that reflects your loved one’s essence.
Maybe you’re considering a natural burial with a horse-drawn cart, or perhaps you want a memorial service that celebrates their life in a way that feels personal and unique. You may even wish to separate the funeral elements or choose not to include a coffin at all. The decision is yours, and I am here to guide you through it with compassion and understanding.
If you’re feeling uncertain about what you need or where to begin, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to guide you, help you make sense of it all, and ensure we create something that’s just right for you.
You are in safe hands. You have found me, and this is what I do. It will be better than okay. You will be proud of yourself and them.
my commitment to you
The goal is to reflect their life and spirit, creating an experience that offers peace, comfort, and a farewell that’s as special as they were. It’s about getting the energy right, the words found and celebrating love.

please take this as a gentle reminder...
You are not alone in this journey, and I’m here to help you at every stage, and at every turn you need me. When you’re ready, reach out. I’m here to listen, guide, and answer your questions. If you have a date or time in mind, please share it so we can align with your arrangements.
Getting to Know You & Planning
We’ll arrange a meeting, either in person (within 30 miles of GU1) or on Zoom, so everyone involved can contribute. This relaxed, informal chat is a chance to share your wishes, your loved one’s personality, and any elements you’d like included, such as rituals, traditions, or personal stories.
We’ll also cover logistics like location and timing. While I value everyone’s input, you are my client – I’ll ensure your wishes remain at the heart of the ceremony.

Creating The Ceremony
I’ll craft a bespoke ceremony reflecting your loved one’s life and legacy. A questionnaire will help gather key details – music, memories, readings, and rituals. Whether or not you want to speak or write, I’ll handle the script and guide the service. Everyone is welcome to contribute; we’ll work together to make it meaningful.
There’s no need to have everything figured out now – we’ll shape it together.

Review & Rehearsal

The Ceremony
On the day, I’ll arrive early to ensure everything runs smoothly. Whether the service is traditional, contemporary, or something unique—inside, outside, or both—I’ll guide it with care and respect, allowing you to focus on what matters most.
04.
Aftercare & Support
After the ceremony, I remain here to support you. If you have questions, need assistance with post-funeral rituals, or simply need a listening ear, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’ll continue to offer compassion and care as you navigate the days ahead.
together, we will create something truly meaningful
