When you're faced with losing a loved one I hope it provides you with some assurance that there are a number of professionals in the Bereavement field who are well positioned to help. This includes Funeral Directors and Arrangers, Faith leaders, Embalmers, Grief Counsellors, Civil or Humanist Celebrants and other professionals who all work together to provide compassionate and dignified end-of-life services.
The role of a Funeral Celebrant is to officiate the funeral of the departed. We navigate a complex landscape that requires a delicate balance of empathy, practicality, and organisation. We support families as they navigate their grief, and we hold the importance of individual high.
As a Civil Celebrant I am able to include or omit elements of religion such as a reading, prayer, or hymn. If you require a non religious service I can help with this too. Either way my role is to ensure the service is sincere and bespoke. You can find out more about my services here.
Most Celebrant led funeral services take place at a crematorium, in a chapel, or at the graveside; however, alternative funerals are becoming more popular. If you'd like to know more, please get in touch. No matter what type of funeral is chosen, I work closely with families to organise and coordinate content for the funeral service, supporting them as they navigate their grief.
One of the great privileges of being a Civil Celebrant is being honoured to learn about the person we are celebrating and to do our best to ensure we incorporate their impact, values and character throughout.
When a loss has occurred families often turn to Funeral Director's to help make the necessary arrangements. During an arrangement meeting you will be asked to confirm whether you prefer a Faith Leader or Celebrant officiate the service. If you have already chosen to have a celebrant and have one in mind, you can contact them directly or ask your Funeral Director to get in touch.

Celebrants and those who work in bereavement are proud to be the pillars of support for individuals and families during a time of profound vulnerability, ensuring that the final journey of their person is one of dignity, respect, and solace.
