Having experienced profound personal loss myself, I understand how disorienting grief can feel – and how important it is to have someone calm and compassionate to help guide you through. That’s why I take the time to get to know each family I work with. Every life is unique, and every farewell should be too.
My style as a celebrant is steady, respectful, and down-to-earth. I’m here to hold the space – gently and clearly – so you and your family can come together, mourn your loss, share memories, and celebrate the life that was lived.
Whether your ceremony is taking place at a crematorium, chapel, cemetery, woodland burial ground or somewhere more unusual, I’m happy to travel and help you create a service that feels true to your loved one’s spirit and your wishes as a family.
If you feel I might be the right person to support you, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I will always do my best for you – before, during, and after the ceremony.
I understand that every family’s needs are different, and I approach each service with sensitivity, flexibility, and adaptability.
Whether you need help planning a small, intimate gathering or a larger, more elaborate service, I will work with you every step of the way to make sure it feels right. I’m not just here to officiate a service.
In my experience, I’ve found that even in the hardest moments, it is possible to find peace and solace in the memories we share. I am deeply committed to making each ceremony a meaningful reflection of the individual, while providing a compassionate and respectful presence for you and your family.
When a family chooses a direct cremation, there’s often still a wish to gather — to share memories, to speak their name, to celebrate their life in a way that feels right.
A personal ceremony gives you that chance, free from time limits or formality.
It might take place in a garden, by the sea, on a favourite walk, or at home — wherever best reflects the person you’re remembering.
I work closely with families to create something warm, simple, and deeply personal, so that everyone present feels part of an honest and heartfelt goodbye.
