May 2026 will see me start my tenth year as a celebrant and non-denominational minister, by which time I will have officiated in the region of 100 funeral services a year.
At least 80% of my work is obtained through personal recommendation, having perhaps officiated for a family previously or a funeral attendee has requested my contact details at a later date.
I do not work exclusively for any particular funeral company, but I have officiated services for independent, family owned and corporate funeral directors alike.
As well as my work as a celebrant,
I am also a qualified Grief and Bereavement Counsellor
and am able to assist with Will Writing and can recommend florists and printers.
In addition, if you would prefer to book a female celebrant or perhaps an organist for a chapel service, then I am able to recommend both.
Will Writing
Over 65% of UK residents over the age of 55 do not have a Will, rising to 75% for those younger.
Whilst 81% of people under 35 would consider leaving money to someone/something other than family - perhaps a charity or political organisation - this number drops to 47% for those over 55.
Whilst there is no legal requirement to have a Will - and it does not need to be drawn up using a solicitor - it's certainly worth looking at and is something I am happy to assist with.
Memorial Trees
For every funeral service I officiate I plant - if required - one Memorial Tree in memory of the person who has passed away, at no cost to the family.
In addition, I am able to provide a wooden plaque engraved with an inscription of your choice, such as name, date of birth and of passing and a single line of text.
I am also a Director of UK Funeral Support, a not-for-profit CIC (Community Interest Company) which as well as supporting the provision of non-profit unattended funerals (both cremation and burial), also provides funding to those who may otherwise not be able to fully fund a funeral.
Currently in its early stages, please check back here for updates and get in touch if you might be able to offer any help.
