Funeral Celebrant in Somerset
I am an experienced Funeral Celebrant based in Somerset. I am also a Fellow of the Faculty of Funeral Celebrants.
I only conduct funeral ceremonies. I specialise in this one area.
I conduct all ceremonies as the family wish, be they secular, spiritual or religious.
I am a Quaker and a volunteer Chaplain at Bath Spa University.
I conduct simple, meaningful and respectful ceremonies. I allow space to mourn loss as well as to celebrate life.
