If you are reading this, then it is likely that you are trying to manage your grief alongside your need to plan a ceremony to say goodbye. I’m here to hold you with warmth and care as we create a personal, meaningful and heartfelt funeral or memorial. I hope to be able to offer you support through this difficult time as we honour their life, experiences and personality through a beautifully written and delivered ceremony.
As humans, we have evolved to need moments where we can stand together and share in what matters. As a Humanist celebrant, I truly believe that coming together to celebrate the life of someone precious to you and mourn their death is an important and necessary act. I will be a safe pair of hands for you whilst we find the best way to mark this transition together.
Whether you are planning a ceremony for a cremation, burial, memorial or scattering of ashes, I will work with you to tell the story of the individual who has died and find unique and respectful ways to pay tribute to their memory.
I also work as the Celebrant Network Manager for Humanists UK, and am constantly in awe of the generosity and talent of my celebrant colleagues. I am a writer, wild swimmer, public health nerd, allotment enthusiast and singer of Georgian folk music, always looking for ways to create more connection, kindness and meaning in the world. Having the opportunity to do this through funerals, weddings and naming ceremonies feels like a great honour to me - learning your stories will never stop feeling special.
Give me a call for a no obligation chat to talk through the next steps and how I work.
And for now, take care of yourself.
Leilia
