FUNERAL CELEBRANT
SERVICES
Funerals, Memorials & Direct Cremations
When you are grieving the death of your loved one it is a tremendously difficult time.
I am a friendly, caring, approachable funeral celebrant based in Hythe, Hampshire. I am passionate about my work, while drawing from my various life experiences.
​
My previous work as a nurse and a midwife made me realize how vital it is, to get it right at the beginning and the end of a person’s life. There is only one chance. I have a background in creative writing and work with church to help me create a funeral or memorial ceremony with you for your loved one which tells their life story as it is.
​
Let us remember your loved one’s life with the great things they did, what they meant and will always mean to you. While showing the real essence of their character.
​
I am happiest when I am giving my best and that is, to you and your family.
​
When convenient to you I will provide you with an unrushed home visit, for as long as it takes, to discuss your wishes and plans to craft your ceremony.
​
You can choose poems, favourite songs, music and hymns. Most crematoriums supply music via the Obitus system which provides a choice of thousands of pieces of songs and music. Please do not hesitate to ask.
​
Next, I will write up the order of service, the poems, tributes and eulogy (If you wish me to write it) then present it to you for any amendments. I will keep in regular contact with you before the funeral.
​
If a mourner has hearing loss, I will provide a written version of the script for them to read during the service. Afterwards, I will provide you with your own printed version of the funeral ceremony to keep not only for yourself, but for future generations of your family to read.
​
Direct Cremation or Burial
​
Maybe your loved one had a direct cremation and you wish me to lead a memorial, ash internment or ash scattering service at a favourite place outdoors or indoors.
Like other ceremonies, this can be a no faith service, have Christian elements such as the Lord’s Prayer, or a full Christian content. I can provide a service for a direct burial at some burial sites.

​
I wish you every kind thought and blessing at this very sad time.
