As a Humanist Funeral Celebrant, it is my privilege to deliver funeral ceremonies which remind us all that a life has been lived, not just observed. By working with families, it is my intention to design a ceremony which not only reflects their loved one but enriches the lives of those who attend, as well as creating meaning for others in their community. Losing a loved one is always a difficult time but creating a wonderful celebration of their life brings comfort as the occasion receives the justice it merits.
Hi, I'm Janette
"just wanted to say, thank you again for the ceremony you did for dad yesterday. You were absolutely wonderful. I don't think the funeral service could have gone any better and I really appreciated your calmness and safe pair of hands. I had a lot of compliments about you from people and they loved what we created together. Thank you for supporting me and advising me along the way"

We are committed to a code of conduct, and have a transparent and robust complaints process in the rare case of a problem.

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.
