I am trained for a wide range of funeral ceremonies, including cremations, woodland and cemetery burials, memorial services and ceremonies for the interment of ashes.

Ceremonies can be conducted in lots of different spaces. As well as dedicated funeral chapels, I can conduct services outdoors, in hotel function rooms, historic buildings or anywhere appropriate to the respectful commemoration of that life.

As well as writing beautiful words, I work with families on all the unique elements and rituals that make each ceremony special: Music; poetry; readings; the laying of flowers; a time of reflection; or perhaps the incorporation of personal items such as a treasured picture, much-loved hat, favourite gardening gloves or even a characteristic possession such as a golf club or fishing rod. Simple gestures that connect you to the special character and unique personality of your loved one.
