I have finally retired from my role as an Occupational therapist in a mental health team for the NHS. I'm now able to take on more funerals , scattering of ashes and memorials. I want to be able to help families to celebrate the lives of their loved ones. I aim to make the ceremony as personal and authentic as possible . Grieving families need more choice in their ceremonies and i would like to promote that. I think i have something to offer if families want their ceremony to be different and inclusive.
Hi, I'm Sally
We are deeply grateful to Sally, our humanist celebrant, for the warmth, professionalism, and personal care she brought to Rose’s funeral. From the outset, Sally made time to meet with the family, listening with genuine interest and compassion as we shared stories and memories. Her thoughtful approach helped shape a ceremony that truly reflected Rose’s life and spirit. During the service, Sally spoke with clarity and meaning, blending personal insight with professional grace. She honoured our wish to celebrate Rose’s life while remaining sensitive to the grief felt by all. The result was a ceremony that felt deeply respectful, heartfelt, and beautifully balanced. Many guests commented on how moving and personal the service was. We couldn’t have asked for a more fitting tribute, and we’re incredibly thankful for Sally’s support during such an emotional time.

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.
