"When it comes to loss and grief there are no rules; there is no ‘normal’ way to feel or react. There is no ‘normal’ time limit on your grief. There is no ‘correct’ way to memorialise the deceased. The way you remember, recognise and/or celebrate the life of a loved one is entirely down to you. As The Alternative Celebrant, my aim is to help you celebrate, commemorate & remember the person you have lost in a way that reflects your memories of them and helps you find a footing on the path leading you onwards.

"I will travel anywhere in the UK or beyond to ensure you get your perfect celebration.
Some celebrants are “humanist”, but I have no religious agenda. This means that you can include any words or music in your ceremony that will bring you comfort. I shall follow your lead on this completely, but can make suggestions regarding content whether it’s of a religious nature or not. The aim of the ceremony will be to capture the very essence of the person and tell the story of the life that has been lived, thereby bringing comfort to those who mourn".

"I am trained and accredited by Humanists UK to conduct non religious funerals that truly reflect the life of the deceased, and to help families to say goodbye in the way in which they would like to do so. I also offer a service in advance of death to help families and individuals to think about the kind of send off and ceremony that they would like to plan".

"A humanist funeral allows you to reflect who your loved one really was and what they meant to the people around them. My approach is that since every person is unique, so every funeral should be too".

"For me, being a funeral celebrant is much more than conducting the ceremony and the committal. Bereaved families need unhurried support, care and understanding to help them cope with the initial effects of their loss and to prepare for a fitting and memorable celebration of the life of their loved one".
