Hi, I'm Jackie

If you are thinking about a non-religious funeral for a family member or friend, where you can say farewell in a way that is meaningful, please get in touch. I will arrange to meet you face to face so that together we can create a personal, unique and bespoke ceremony that reflects the person they were in life and what they meant to the people they leave behind.

Whether you want a simple, straightforward ceremony or to design something a bit different, take part in the ceremony yourself or leave it all to me, you will be supported as much or as little as you need to create something that feels right to you.

My background in working within social care, mental health services, education and community development has served me well in the role of Celebrant, as all require empathy, the ability to sit alongside someone through difficult times and excellent communication skills. Understanding an individual's unique stories and being interested in people has been a strong thread through all my work.

I will listen to you and create and conduct a ceremony that is highly personalised, and which celebrates and honours the life of the person who has died.

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.
