My role is to hold space for you with sensitivity and steadiness—to support you through your process, to help find the right words, and to create a farewell ceremony that feels both personal and deeply human. This is about remembering well, and saying goodbye in a way that truly feels special to you.
A funeral is not a moment to be filled with generic words. It is a space to honour a life—truthfully, gently, and with care.
As a non-religious funeral celebrant, I offer a deeply personal approach rooted in attentive, deep listening. I take the time to truly understand the person who has died—their character, their relationships, their contradictions, their story. And your relationship with them. Through thoughtful conversation, weaving in prompts to guide us where necessary, I work closely with you to shape a ceremony that reflects your loved one in a way that feels personal, honouring and meaningful. You get to choose exactly how you would like it – and I feel privileged to support you along the way.
There is no template and no assumptions. Each ceremony is crafted from the ground up, guided by what matters most to you and those who are grieving and missing their loved one. Whether quiet and reflective or rich with stories and warmth, the focus remains the same: authenticity, presence, and respect. You might like to have a ceremony in nature, or at your own home, on the beach, or somewhere more formal. Whatever you choose, I am here to support you make it happen, and to create beautiful lasting memories.

My work as an End of Life Doula and Grief Tending facilitator deepens how I work as a Funeral Celebrant. I have direct experience with supporting individuals and families with end of life, and regularly hold space for people to uncover and express their grief. I bring my compassionate, open heart with bundles of care and sensitivity at every step of the journey with you.
Process of working together
Initial phone call
You tell me about your loved one, what your wishes are (if you know), and ask me any questions you have before deciding on us meeting.
Make an appointment to meet
I can come to your home or we can meet somewhere neutral for a cup of tea and a chat or a walk in nature.
Time for listening and crafting the ceremony
The journey together depends on how much you would like to contribute which we can discuss when we meet. You will have plenty of time and opportunity to check all of the ceremony content before the day.
