Hi, I'm Kimberley

A ceremony as unique as the person.

My aim is to work with families and friends to co-create an authentic and bespoke send-off. This involves meeting with those organising the funeral and having a deep, gentle conversation about their loved one - remembering them for who they were and discussing what was meaningful to them. This helps me understand the person's unique spirit and create a ceremony that truly honours their individual story.

In my view, a funeral ceremony should strike a delicate balance between creating a safe space where people can grieve, express their emotions and collectively mourn whilst also celebrating the individual and their life in a way that is authentic and true to them. It allows people to come together and share an experience that marks the end of the person’s physical body and is often an integral part of the grieving process.

Thank you ever so much you were amazing, a lot of people said too how lovely as a funeral can go, it .changed alot of people's minds as havibg a lovely humanist .Thank you again for all the s support you have us as a family xx

We had the pleasure of Kimberley for our service to celebrate my dads life in June. Kimberley met us all to get an idea of how dad was and created a beautiful service. A lot of people commented on how good it was. Kimberley was fantastic in keeping us updated and provided us with her words before the service.

********* FIRST CLASS SERVICE ********** Kimberley kindly supported us through a difficult time after the death of a very cherished friend. Throughout this process Kimberley showed care, gentleness and compassion and this made such a difference at this very challenging time. The funeral was one of peace and calm, sharing beautiful memories and Kimberley gave all aspects of the service every care, thought and attention. Kimberley can be very much trusted to steer families throughout these life moments and her humility and grace added to what was a special, beautiful day. Thank you so much. ********* HIGHLY RECOMMENDED **********

Dear Kimberley, We wanted to send our thanks and appreciation for the very professional, compassionate and empathetic way in which you conducted both the preparations for, and Rachel’s actual funeral. We really appreciated the time you gave to us and to get to know Rachel, which meant that the service was very fitting for her. So many people told us how beautiful and meaningful the service was and we feel that no other celebrant could have done it better! Everyone that played a part in the service appreciated you being in contact with them in advance and every one of them said how kind you were to them. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you.

Kimberley came highly recommended, and within 5 minutes of meeting her, it. Was clear why. She connected with my family immediately, following a sudden parental loss. She helped us formulate a personal send-off for a beloved father, and made the difficult period a little more bearable. Her words, actions and presentational skills on the day - and in the days beforehand whilst preparing - made everything a little smoother. I can highly commend Kimberley - as a person you’ll like, as a professional who can help you, and as gentle helper as you navigate your journey. Thank you Kimberley. We loved you being part of our family for a short while.

— Kevin Eaves

We can’t thank Kimberley enough for the service she put on for my Dad’s funeral. It really did go above any expectations we had and absolutely did justice to the man he was. She made things so much easier during a very hard time. Thank you Kimberley.

Kimberley was the officiating humanist at my mum’s funeral on the 28/6/23. Thanks to Kimberley’s wonderful way with words we were able to send the our mum off in the most fitting way and lots of stories throughout my mum’s life. The service Kimberley really helped to sum my mum up - humour, love, and acknowledgement of the hardships my mum faced. Thank you Kimberley for providing that comfort at such a hard time.

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.
