Hi, I'm Debbie

Being a celebrant is thoroughly enjoyable and very satisfying. I love meeting families and listening to their stories and memories. Every person is unique and every family is different. It will be my pleasure to create a ceremony for you that is personal, positive and completely bespoke.

A Humanist funeral focuses on celebrating the uniqueness of the person we are saying goodbye to through the sharing of memories and thoughts. It can be specifically tailored to your wishes or to those of the person for whom you are planning. It can include music, readings, personal contributions, photo or video tributes (crematorium facilities allowing) and pretty much anything else you would like to include. I will work with you to create an uplifting and comforting ceremony that will leave a lasting impression of a fitting “finale”.

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.
