funerals & 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 āSWAN SONGā 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. Itās 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 youāve 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.
Iām 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 – itās 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 oneās life and values. From intimate Quaker gatherings to grand celebrations with opera singers or electric guitars, Iāve 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. Iām 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, Iād 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.
Iāll help you create a ceremony that reflects your loved oneās 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.

Getting to Know You & Planning
Weāll 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 oneās personality, and any elements youād like included, such as rituals, traditions, or personal stories.
Weāll also cover logistics like location and timing. While I value everyoneās input, you are my client – Iāll ensure your wishes remain at the heart of the ceremony.

Thereās no need to have everything figured out now – weāll shape it together.
