Hello – I’m Craig.
I am a funeral celebrant devoted to creating meaningful, authentic ceremonies that help you say goodbye in a way that truly reflects the life that was lived.
I create inclusive, non-religious ceremonies that honour identity, individuality, and the unique story of each person. Every life is different, and every farewell should be too—whether quiet and reflective or full of laughter, music, and joy.
My role is to listen with care, understand deeply, and guide you gently. Together, we can craft a ceremony that feels right—not only for the person who has died but for everyone saying goodbye.
I warmly welcome everyone. My ceremonies are shaped by the values, stories, and spirit of the individual—not by tradition or religion. I work closely with families and friends to create sincere, heartfelt tributes.
With years of experience in the bereavement sector, through volunteering, professional work, and more recently as a qualified trainer, training new volunteers, I bring a deep understanding of grief and loss, and I strive to make you feel safe, heard, and supported, so we can create a farewell that truly honours your loved one.
Whether someone lived quietly or vividly, openly or privately, I ensure their story is told with respect, empathy, celebration, and humour.
Funerals can be moments of quiet reflection, deep sorrow, or a heartfelt and joyous celebration. A thoughtfully crafted ceremony provides space to remember, honour, and cherish the connections that mattered most, creating a farewell that truly resonates and leaves a lasting sense of meaning.
Families often tell me they feel understood, reassured, and comforted. I aim to bring warmth, calm professionalism, and a sense of occasion to every ceremony I lead, helping everyone present feel supported as they say goodbye.
I can deliver services at crematoriums, burial grounds, or memorial locations that hold special significance. Whether your gathering is small and intimate or larger and celebratory, I’ll guide you with care, shaping a farewell that reflects the spirit, values, and life of your loved one and offers comfort to all who attend.
Memorial services are increasingly chosen by families seeking personalized, inclusive, and meaningful ways to celebrate life—ceremonies that are heartfelt, bespoke, and free from tradition, allowing your loved one to be remembered exactly as they were.
