I am married with a grown up daughter. For the last ten years I have served as a Lay Minister (Reader) within the diocese of Canterbury (Church of England). I bring a love of music, poetry and ceremony with which I will collaborate with you to create a meaningful and personalized ceremony, whether you would prefer a religious or non-religious, or a little of both, we can craft a ceremony that honours the life of your loved one.

 

I trained as a funeral celebrant with the Celebrant Coaching and Training Academy, receiving a special commendation, and I am a member of the Association of Independent Celebrants.

 

Drawing from my background in religious studies and creative arts, I offer a unique approach to funeral ceremonies, working with you to blend traditional elements with personal touches that reflect the life and personality of the loved one who has departed. I hope to provide  comfort and support during your time of loss.

​

In addition to officiating ceremonies, I offer to write a personalized poem to try to beautifully capture the essence and spirit of your deceased loved one. These bespoke tributes can serve as cherished mementos, celebrating the life and legacy of those who have touched the hearts of you and likely many others.

 

I am committed to creating with you a heartfelt and dignified farewell that honours the memory of your departed loved one one with reverence and respect.
