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.

I have made a personal choice not to request reviews from grieving families. However I have listed below some unprompted reviews sent to me.

In a ceremony, at Sedgemoor Crematorium, ‘I thank you for your professionalism, care and thoughtful approach, greatly appreciated by the family and the dignity and compassion brought to the occasion’. B.D.

At a ceremony at Haycombe Valley Chapel, a family member wrote ‘I want to thank you for your words at M’s funeral. It was brilliantly put and everyone said how well it went.’ L.B.

Following a ceremony at Canford Crematorium, I received this message from a senior family member and my contact for this ceremony…’I just wanted to thank you for the excellent funeral service on Monday.’ R.M.

Below are some other unprompted Reviews previously received.

‘ The Service you gave was excellent. Everyone I spoke to said how impressed they were.’ J.S.

‘Thank you for all your help and the caring professional way you helped make G’s funeral ceremony so meaningful.’ E.S.
