First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Louise Rooney, I am 53 years of age. I am a Funeral Celebrant, trained and accredited by Humanists UK. I have been doing this work since Autumn last year following the loss of both my Mum and Dad at the beginning of 2023. We held a joint Humanist funeral for them and it inspired me to train and become accredited as a Funeral Celebrant.
I thoroughly enjoy the work I do, I love to meet people, I love to write and it is both rewarding and an honour to write and conduct funeral services in tribute to the person you have lost.
I have built up excellent working relationships with many funeral directors in the Greater Manchester area and have worked repeatedly with them.
Additionally, I am familiar with many crematoria venues in the Greater Manchester and surrounding areas and work closely with them to keep abreast of developments in how they operate to ensure I can offer the best, most appropriate service to you.
The funeral and memorial services I craft are warm and welcoming. They will be memorable and meaningful to everyone who knew your loved one. As individual as they were, the tribute I write and deliver at their service will be special and significant, words you will treasure for a long time and take great comfort from.
I consider myself to be empathetic and understanding and I listen carefully to what you tell me about your loved one. Funerals are sad occasions, of course they are, but that doesn't mean we cannot include a funny story or two, or an amusing anecdote. Humanist funerals serve to tell the story of a persons life and are inclusive to all.
It would be an honour to be chosen to tell your loved one's story.
