Each of us are individuals, special in our own way. We are moved by the tide of life, warmed by the sun.
Our days enjoyed, our course of life been run, Time to say farewell as the tide has come.

John Richard Armstrong

Funeral Celebrant

For many people today, their lifestyle means that the role of traditional religion has played less of a part than it did in the past. This means, perhaps, that a typical funeral service conducted by a minister of religion is not always appropriate to mark the celebration for the life of the deceased or the desire of their family. For this reason, the ceremonies that I create are focused on life and not death. Far from being sad and sombre they are positive and uplifting. You will find great comfort in providing a ceremony that meets the deceased’s wishes and truly reflects their life.

An independent funeral celebrant is a professional who is trained to plan, write and lead a memorable, personalised ceremony. They work with funeral directors and the bereaved to deliver something more individual than a traditional funeral service. They help and support the bereaved family with planning the funeral to make sure it celebrates the life of the person who has passed away.
