Hi, I'm Anne

Welcome. If you have recently lost someone dear to you, please know that my thoughts are with you. Saying goodbye is one of our most profound human experiences, it is deeply personal, often overwhelming, and deserves the utmost care.

I believe that every life is a unique story. My approach is rooted in warmth and active listening; I will sit with you, hold space for your memories, and learn about the values and moments that defined your loved one’s journey.

Together, we will weave those threads into a ceremony that truly resonates, a tribute that finds the gentle balance between the sadness of parting and the joy of having known them.

I am here to guide you in creating a meaningful farewell in your chosen setting, ensuring that every word spoken reflects the true essence and character of the story I have the privilege of telling.

We are all unique. Let’s make something beautiful.

                                

Services that I offer:

Funeral ceremony.

Memorials.

Scattering of ashes ceremony.

Pre-planned Funerals

Photograph presentation / slide show for the ceremony.

Photography and Aerial photography *

A bespoke presentation copy of the ceremony.

*Ground based photography and Aerial photography creates a poignant visual memory. I work closely with AKVisuals to provide a professional photography service to capture moments of the ceremony day and in creating a ‘Life story’ of your loved one, providing aerial photography and video of poignant areas, for example, favourite places, places lived and worked.

The photography and video will be presented in a USB stick or shared digitally.

Operating throughout England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands, we deliver authentic, tailor-made and heartfelt ceremonies for life’s key moments. They are always inclusive and welcoming, regardless of the beliefs of those attending.

You can trust Humanist Ceremonies celebrants: We are DBS-checked, fully insured, and regularly peer reviewed for quality assurance. We are committed to a code of conduct, and have a transparent and robust complaints process in the rare case of a problem. We all pay a monthly fee to Humanists UK to further support the work of the charity, and are part of a regional network for like-minded celebrants for support and learning.

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.
