Thank you for visiting my page. I am a Humanist Ceremonies funeral celebrant, trained and accredited by Humanists UK. I would love to work with you to create a personal funeral service that reflects the personality of your loved one, your memories of times shared and the relationships they had with friends and family.
Humanist ceremonies are non-religious, instead rooted in values such as equality, fairness, compassion, respect and inclusivity. Although Humanists do not believe in God this does not mean that people who hold religious beliefs are excluded. Everyone is very welcome at a Humanist ceremony and you don't need to be a Humanist to have a Humanist funeral.
Each ceremony that I have the privilege of being a part of has the unique story of your loved one at the centre. I take pride in my ability to work alongside and listen to families, at what can be a very difficult time, to create bespoke and meaningful funerals, celebrations of life or memorials. I'm of the view that people's lives are endlessly fascinating and I really enjoy crafting a tribute that is an authentic refection of the individual's life and values.
Humanist funerals can incorporate personal stories, music, poetry and readings. They can be be full of joy and laughter as well as respectful and more sombre; I will be completely led by you. It is important to me that the ceremony I lead gives you the opportunity to have a a sincere and authentic goodbye. I can offer guidance on structuring a ceremony where you can have as much or as little input as you want. I can also suggest other elements to make the ceremony right for everyone involved.
A bit about me
I live in rural Cambridgeshire. I live with my husband and dogs and have two adult children. I was born and brought up in South London, moving to Cambridge in 1989 to train as a nurse and then switching careers in 2006 to become a social worker. I realise I have always been drawn to helping people.
My interests include gardening, photography and cooking and do most of these things whilst listening to Audible!
