Hi, I'm Lynn

Welcome to my page.

Wherever and whenever it takes place, a ceremony to mark the death of a loved one or friend is an opportunity to remember them and all they meant to you, in a way that truly reflects that individual.

This may be a traditional ceremony in a crematorium or chapel, a graveside ceremony at a burial site, or a memorial gathering at a special place. However you choose to say goodbye, I work with families and loved ones to craft ceremonies which are respectful, dignified, warm and loving - and sometimes, celebratory, uplifting and funny!

As an experienced celebrant, I will support you with ideas and suggestions. You may already have a clear vision for the ceremony or you may not be sure where to start - whatever your situation, rest assured I will contribute as little or as much as you want and need.

I will come and meet you at a time and place that's convenient for you and listen to your thoughts and ideas. I'll be on hand to advise and help you with writing a eulogy, choosing readings, poems, songs, music - whatever you feel is right and appropriate to honour the life of the deceased. On the day of the ceremony, I will do as little or as much as you'd like me to, providing structure and space for everyone contributing to participate.

Whether you are visiting my page because you are planning your own funeral, or you are organising a farewell for a loved one, please get in touch if you would like to find out more about my work.

I offer a free, no obligation chat to discuss your requirements and help you decide if I'm the right celebrant for you.

Thanks for doing us proud with our words - you did a great job for us!

— John & Julia

We've received several messages from those who were with us or who watched last Thursday to say that it was a lovely ceremony, very fitting and appropriate for Mum. Thank you for listening and for bringing our ideas for tributes and music together for, in the words of her dear friend, "a lovely send-off".

— Moira and Alison

Thank you for being there for us - for both Mum and for Dad.

— Catherine B

Thank you for the warmth and compassion you brought to our farewell gathering. Your words beautifully captured the spirit of our loved one. We are truly grateful for the care and sincerity with which you guided us through such a meaningful moment. With heartfelt appreciation, L&R xx

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.
