Hi, I'm Helen

I was inspired to become a humanist celebrant after attending beautiful humanist funeral held in difficult circumstances. It profoundly helped me and my family and this is what informs my approach to funerals. It is an enormous privilege to be trusted by people at a time that can be overwhelming. I work with them to identify the right tone and style of ceremony to reflect their wishes and leave them with a helpful memory.

I've worked with and learnt from some wonderful fellow celebrants, funeral directors and crematorium assistants to facilitate funerals that are meaningful and personal. I've been honoured to be asked by friends to lead ceremonies too.

I've led celebrations of a person's life separately from funerals, sometimes including international contributions either online or via video, as well as readings and personal tributes.

From our first conversation, through to the first meeting, Helen made us feel completely at ease over how we envisaged the day, and just wanted to make it as special for us as possible. What really struck a chord was how invested she was in learning our story and also our values so that she could build the perfect ceremony for us. We had a few requests which were accommodated with ease and gave us plenty of time to look over the script.

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.
