Hi, I'm Andrew

Thank you for visiting my page. I know this will be a deeply personal and emotional time for you. Let me help you create a funeral service, memorial or celebration of life that reflects the memories, personality and relationships with friends and family that you want represented at the funeral. I am a Humanist Ceremonies funeral celebrant, trained and accredited by Humanists UK.

Humanist ceremonies are non-religious, rooted in values such as equality, fairness, compassion, respect and inclusivity. Although Humanists do not believe in God this does not mean that people who hold religious beliefs are excluded. Everyone is very welcome at a Humanist ceremony and you don't need to be a Humanist to have a Humanist funeral.

Each ceremony that I have the privilege of being a part of has been unique. I am able to work alongside and listen to families, at what can be a very difficult time, to create bespoke and meaningful funerals, celebrations of life or memorials. I'm of the view that people's lives are endlessly fascinating, and I really enjoy crafting a tribute that is an authentic refection of the individual's life and values.

While grief is natural, I find that moments of warmth and gentle humour, where appropriate, can help bring comfort and spark cherished memories.

I work closely with families from our first conversation through to the end of the ceremony. I will keep our communication open, so you will never feel out of touch during the process, from readings; selection music; and the tribute to the person who has died.

Above all, I want the ceremony to feel personal, unique, and a fitting tribute to the life we are remembering.

A bit about me

I live in Battersea, South West London.

If you’d like to have a chat to find out a little more about me and decide whether I am the right celebrant for you, please feel free to contact me today on 07534 991021 or email me: Andrew.cooper64@outlook.com I will do my absolute best to ease some of the pressure planning a funeral can bring, to make it an occasion well done and that friends and family have as good as experience as possible.

"Andrew - I cannot tell you how much we appreciate everything you have done to honour our father. He would have certainly have been grateful too!"

Humanist funerals

Humanist funerals, memorials and ash ceremonies are a fitting way to honour a unique life with warmth, sensitivity and meaning, but without reference to religion or an afterlife. They put the story of the person who has died at the heart of the ceremony, paying tribute to them and the legacy they leave, and provide an opportunity to bring people together, not just to share sadness but to celebrate a life lived.
