CONSULTATION

CONSULTATION

I will make contact with the appointed family / individual immediately after being requested to. This petition can be made either by relatives of the deceased or via the appointed funeral director. A relaxed discussion will be arranged ( either in person or by phone) whereby I will gather a valuable insight of the full life just lived. This will be the opportunity for individuals to add their own personal recollections and for any to recommend favorite poetry or readings that would add to the service. Normally 3 pieces of music are chosen for the celebration. I also welcome further dialogue with other family / friends as I pride on my ceremonies being as inclusive and individualistic as possible. Once I have created the biography I will forward the document to ensure all of the facts and stories are precise before I complete my final script.

THE CEREMONY / CELEBRATION

Prior to the funeral / memorial I will coordinate with the appointed funeral director to guarantee smooth progress on the day. I will arrive at the appropriate location 30 mins prior to the commencement of the service in order to meet and greet all of those attending. I will then deliver a clear and uplifting service, where those present can share in the life of the deceased.

OTHER SERVICES

I will attend any venue to carry out funerals or memorials and have found recent woodland burials to be extremely tranquil. I have often been asked to speak with those nearing the end of their life to make arrangements for their own funeral. This is a request I am more than happy to uptake as it ensures the celebration is just as the deceased would have liked.

About

About image
Hi, I am a Humanist Celebrant having qualified with Humanists UK to lead funeral ceremonies throughout the North East of England and the Scottish Borders.
All of the funerals I lead are a unique tribute to the person who has just died. They reflect their true character and offer their friends and family the opportunity to celebrate the life just lived. I strive to make every ceremony a positive and bonding experience, one which is open and inclusive to all. To that end I am happy to accommodate any requests to make the celebration as memorable and uplifting as possible.
Personally I am married with two young children. I was inspired to provide bespoke humanist funerals after attending the moving and uplifting ceremony provided for my grandfather. I always strive to replicate the outstanding service my family received at this trying occasion.
