Hi, I'm Becky

As a celebrant, my job is to help you create unique and memorable occasions, in whatever shape that takes. I’m passionate about embracing each of our life stories; I believe in building ceremonies that celebrate our individuality and our legacy.

Arranging a funeral can be an overwhelming experience; I’ll work with you (and your chosen Funeral Directors where needed) to create a personal service for your loved one. I’ll meet with you to talk through the details, any music and readings you’d like included, answer any questions, and - most importantly - hear about the life we’re celebrating.

I have years of experience designing and leading a range of ceremonies, including cremations, woodland burials, garden memorials and private events. Regardless of the situation, my aim is to support you; to provide insight and guidance where you might need it, and to ultimately provide a great service.

If you’d like to hear more about how we can work together, please have a look through my website at beckyjeffriesceremonies.co.uk or get in touch and we can have a chat about your thoughts.

Comments from previous families I have worked with:

“Just to say a huge thank you for a difficult task well executed. Perfect pitch, you have a lovely manner with everyone and I will never be able to express my gratitude sufficiently.”

— Mrs H

“Thanks again for helping the family write and deliver a wonderful tribute. It really did capture and reflect on his life and personality so well. The tone was perfect and even though there were tears, there were lots of smiles and laughs too.”

— Mrs G

“Thank you so much for your service at the weekend. Everyone had such lovely things to say about you after you left and how amazingly well you spoke about mum and our stories we told you.”

— Miss L

Where I work

I’ve lived in and around Reading for most of my life, currently living just over the North Hampshire border. I take ceremonies across Berkshire and Hampshire, though I'd be happy to travel further, so do get in touch if you'd like to chat.

HUMANIST CEREMONIES™ is the network of more than 550 celebrants, trained by national charity Humanists UK to a gold standard to provide memorable and meaningful humanist ceremonies to non-religious people. 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.
