Justine Coombs is an award-winning independent funeral celebrant, known for creating thoughtful, personal and deeply meaningful ceremonies across Kent, London and the UK.

Justine works closely with families at one of the most difficult times of their lives, offering calm guidance, compassion and clarity from the very first conversation. Every ceremony is written individually, shaped by in-depth family discussions, memories and stories, ensuring that each life is honoured in a way that feels authentic and true.

Her approach is warm, inclusive and unhurried. Justine believes a funeral is not about rushing or following a template, but about taking the time to reflect, to remember, and to acknowledge the unique impact one life has had on others. Whether the ceremony is a traditional funeral, a celebration of life, a memorial, or a simple farewell, the focus is always on the person at the heart of the ceremony.

Families often choose Justine because they want a ceremony that feels respectful without being impersonal, and personal without being overwhelming. She creates a gentle structure that allows space for reflection, music, poetry and tributes, while supporting family members who wish to take part.

Justine welcomes people of all beliefs and none, and is experienced in creating ceremonies that may include religious elements, spiritual references, or entirely non-religious content, always led by the wishes of the family. She works collaboratively with funeral directors while remaining fully independent and family-focused.

With a calm presence, clear delivery and genuine care, Justine creates ceremonies that honour a life well lived and support those left behind as they say goodbye.
