If you choose me as your funeral celebrant...

I will work with you to gather the memories you hold dear, to shape your words and thoughts into a sensitive and loving tribute to your loved one; to celebrate their life and pay a fitting tribute to remember.

We have all been touched by the loss of a loved one, and I am no exception. Losing my mother when I was 16 years old shaped the person I am today. It has given me an empathetic heart and the intuition to see what people need at this difficult time. Throughout my nursing career I worked with the bereaved and cared for their loved ones during their most difficult times. I hope to be able to use all this life experience to be the truly compassionate celebrant you need at this time.

'Simply ask'

for free initial discussion, informal (face-to-face, Zoom, FaceTime etc).
If you choose me for your ceremony we will meet to create a fitting tribute and eulogy.

Unlimited email, texts throughout the process.
Draft scripts for your review / approval.
Advice on readings, poems, music and any other content required.
A uniquely personal and inspired ceremony delivered on the day at venue of your choice.
I will liaise with your chosen Funeral Director to ensure that everything runs smoothly on the day.

Alternatively, families can contact me directly, give my name to your chosen Funeral Director, who will then assign your service to me.

Rest assured I am here to try to make a difficult day a little less painful. We will create a celebration of life together, a truly fitting tribute to your loved one.

Kind words

A huge, heartfelt thank you from my siblings and I for the wonderful job you did with mums service. Everyone we spoke to afterwards said what a lovely service it was and how much they enjoyed it. Most gratifying of all was the fact that a couple of people said they'd learnt some new things about mum, so they really had taken it in. Afterwards, at the funeral tea, your words were talked about a lot. Thanks again.

Funeral for Mother

Thank you so much for the beautiful service you conducted for my Father. It was absolutely perfect and exactly how he would have wanted it to be.You really did make it a celebration of his life which, at a time of great sadness, gave us such comfort.Your kindness, empathy and patience have been very much appreciated. You guided us through a very stressful time with professionalism and understanding. By subtly enhancing our memories in such a sensitive way you enabled us to express what we really felt but might otherwise been unable to say.Thank you Deborah.

with funeral arrangements and trying to put into words who they were and what they meant to your family is daunting.

Deborah was brilliant. She was so kind and personable, tactfully teasing out from us stories, little details and anecdotes. This conversation was so valuable for helping us talk about memories and celebrate our lives together. She masterfully assembled our scattered thoughts into a meaningful, personal and beautiful tribute for my husband. Her attention to detail and delivery were flawless. She was able to combine respect, sensitivity and humour, making a dreaded occasion into a joyful celebration.

We cannot recommend Deborah highly enough.

Thank you for conducting the service so beautifully yesterday. You made it sound so personal and so heartfelt that my husband thought I'd written the service myself. Thank you for doing us and my lovely Mum proud. Everyone who attended told me how much they enjoyed the service.
