I'm a fully qualified Funeral & Family Celebrant and every ceremony I write & deliver is bespoke and personal. Welcome to my page and thank you for finding me. I became a fully qualified Funeral and Family Celebrant in 2019, training with the UK Society of Celebrants to write and deliver bespoke funerals for families across Hull and the East Riding. I also lead wedding, naming and other unique ceremonies. Let me tell you a little bit about myself, to help you decide whether you might want me to be part of your ceremony. I'm a former journalist and I also work as a PR Consultant. I was drawn to becoming a Celebrant as I am very much a 'people person' with an enormous amount of empathy and a genuine wish to help and support people, whether it is through one of the hardest times of their lives, or the happiest. In my previous career in journalism, I met many families going through extraordinary milestones and events in their lives, and this has equipped me with the experience and skills to help, whether it's preparing to say goodbye to a loved one, joining two lives together in a wedding ceremony, or welcoming a new addition to the family with a beautiful, bespoke naming day. My ceremonies aim to truly capture and reflect the people at the centre of them. FUNERALS:
I spend time with loved ones, getting to know the person they loved, so I can truly describe their personality, achievements, their loves in life, who they were and what they meant to their friends and family. I discuss the ceremony with you in advance, ensuring every detail is accurate and nothing is missed. When restrictions allow, I sit with you in your home and take time to listen to your stories and memories. I will help you with anything you need regarding the ceremony, whether that's choosing the right photographs for the Order of Service, selecting the music, or offering advice on readings if you need it. Every detail will be carefully considered. Many of the families I work with prefer the very personal nature of a Celebrant-led ceremony, as their loved one is the sole focus. WEDDINGS:
It is a great honour to conduct a wedding ceremony and tell the story of two people who love each other dearly. I was also married recently and know how important it is to reflect you as a couple, your love and what you mean to one another. My bespoke approach, which can include various meaningful elements, will ensure it is a true celebration of your lives joining together. It will be deeply personal and will be your day, your way. NAMING CEREMONIES:
A naming ceremony is a completely unique celebration of your child. It's their special day to share and celebrate with those closest to them. These ceremonies ensure your child is the star of the show and, with your input, we will make it a magical day for everyone involved to remember forever. Your naming ceremony can include a range of elements and you can get involved too. The aim is to make it personal, fun and unforgettable.
