Hi, I'm Lynn

Welcome to my profile page.

Wherever and whenever it takes place, a ceremony to mark the death of a loved one or friend is an opportunity to gather with others and remember that life, in a way that truly reflects the 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 work alongside you and others involved to support with the process. I can advise and help with preparing a eulogy, choosing readings, poems and music and including any symbolic acts that reflect the individual.

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.

I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful ceremony, we were so pleased with how it went - it really was a celebration of life. Thank you for making it easier for us and for being so professional throughout.

Our thanks to you for making everything so easy for us. We all thought the ceremony was just right, it was "so mum". You brought our words to life and we feel we did her proud whilst keeping to her wishes of not making a fuss!

From the moment we met you until the service was over, we felt we were in very safe hands. You made the ceremony such a fitting tribute and my family and I are all so grateful for your support during this difficult time. Thank you for making such an emotional day so much more bearable.

Lynn was calm, reassuring, kind - a perfect presence throughout. She had lovely ideas for the ceremony and was very patient coping with our numerous edits and changes. She was perfect on the day - lot of positive comments from our guests,

They are always inclusive and welcoming, regardless of the beliefs of those attending.

You can trust Humanist Ceremonies celebrants: We are DBS-checked, fully insured, and regularly peer reviewed for quality assurance. We are committed to a code of conduct, and have a transparent and robust complaints process in the rare case of a problem.

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.
