Hi, I'm Jenni

I am a funeral celebrant, accredited by Humanists UK. I work sensitively with families and friends to design and craft a funeral or memorial service that truly respects and reflects the wishes and personality of the person who has gone, and which provides comfort to those who live on.

I chose to train with Humanists UK because they provide a thorough and rigorous training with ongoing support and development, so that you know that you are in safe, professional hands. It also means that I am part of an active national community of celebrants that I can call upon for advice or other support.

When I lost my partner in 2012, I enlisted the help of a Humanist funeral celebrant for both the initial small funeral and a later larger and more celebratory memorial event. I know how important those events can be, and how hard it can be to think about them. It was such a relief having someone by my side at that difficult time who understood and was really able to help. That celebrant is now part of my network and I love continuing to learn from others how I can best support people when they are bereaved and how I can help create a really beautiful and fitting commemoration and celebration of life. I think it is a tremendous privilege to be able to bring my skills and experience in engaging with others, communicating and creating a warm and inclusive space for grief, to help others as they go through this very hard part of life.

If you would like to discuss how I might be able to support you then please do get in touch.

Where I work

I am based in Margate in Kent but am also able to cover London and much of the south east, and, with a bit of advance notice, up to and including the north west, where I was born and still have many family and friends.

Fees from...

£265 - I tend to charge the usual rate as set by the Funeral Director, though I am also very happy to be contacted directly and to talk through my pricing for anything other than a standard funeral.

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.
