Allow me to express my sincere condolences if you are reading this during a time of loss. Every life, regardless of its duration, deserves to be celebrated and remembered with dignity. While I cannot alleviate the pain of grief, I am committed to helping you honour the life of your loved one through a personalised ceremony that truly reflects their unique personality, values, and life story.
About Me
Born and raised in Scotland I moved to Co. Antrim almost 30 years ago and am very settled here. I began my professional journey in healthcare as a nurse, subsequently becoming a midwife. Throughout my career, I have provided support to numerous families during challenging periods, offering compassion and guidance. Now as a funeral celebrant I continue to do this by creating and leading memorable and meaningful non-religious funerals, celebrations of life, memorials, and ash ceremonies.
When planning my own mum's funeral, I realised it was the last thing I could do for her, so I wanted it to be perfect. This process is very personal and needs care, understanding, and attention to detail. It is important to make sure the arrangements show the personality, beliefs, and wishes of the person who has passed away, as well as what the family needs.
What I offer
I emphasise the significance of personal planning for funerals, which allows families to express their love and respect in a manner that feels genuine and heartfelt. I offer to meet with you and your family to discuss your preferences, learn about your loved one's life, and understand your specific wishes. Based on this, I will craft a bespoke service that highlights their life story, ensuring their memory is preserved with dignity and respect.
My services include assisting with selecting meaningful music, readings, poetry, and other elements that make the ceremony special and personalised.
I also advocate for pre-arranged funerals, which enable individuals to articulate their final wishes clearly and precisely. Planning ahead provides peace of mind, knowing that your preferences will be honoured and your loved ones will be supported during a difficult time.
I welcome the opportunity to discuss my services further and explain how I can assist in creating a respectful, heartfelt ceremony that truly celebrates your loved one's life.
