Services - Designed individually for you

Cremations

Let me help you at this stressful time.

Tell me the stories and tales of your loved one and I will write the service that they deserve; the perfect send off in the style that you choose for them.

I work closely with the Funeral Home Arrangers and the Funeral Directors so we take the pressure from you to give you the perfect service.

Scattering or Internment of Ashes

Now you have had the time to reflect, let me help with the service for the Scattering or Internment of the ashes of your loved one.

I will write and deliver the service that you want., with or without music, in the setting of your choice.

Burials

To celebrate the life of your loved one and put into words all the things you wish to be said - at their graveside, after speaking to you, I will write and deliver the service for the one you love.

The Funeral Director and I will work together to get this just right for you.

Memorial
Ceremonies

Your Story

Take the stress from your loved ones.

Let me sit with you and hear all the stories that you wish to be told at your own funeral, with a living eulogy.

I will then write the service that you wish to be held and keep it safe until required.

Preserve the spirit of your loved one with a heartfelt celebration after the funeral in a setting of your choice.

I will write and lead the memorial service for you, whenever you are ready to do so.

Personal and Individual Celebration

I take time and listen to the stories of the one you love. I then craft an original, personal service reflecting their, and your, values and beliefs - together we will create the perfect farewell to the one you love.

Let me take the stress of the service creation from you.

As a qualified civil funeral celebrant with an NOCN Level 3 Diploma in Funeral Celebrancy, I offer my services across Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Oxfordshire, and beyond.

Every individual is unique, and I believe the chosen ceremony should reflect this. Whether it's a funeral, the scattering or interring of ashes, a memorial service, a burial, or even writing a living eulogy, so you can tell your own story. I am here to assist you.

Your beliefs, culture, and values are paramount as I craft the narrative of your loved one's personal journey within my services. Together, we will design the ceremony you envision, incorporating music, poetry, songs, readings, prayers, and symbols until it perfectly aligns with your wishes.

Should you feel I can be of assistance, please do contact me.
