Creating a fitting farewell
​
I'll meet with you and find out about the kind of ashes ceremony you're looking for. We'll talk through the life and legacy of the one who has died. We'll discuss the importance of the location you've chosen for the ceremony.
​
Together, we'll develop a structure for the ceremony, and decide how different people will be involved. For example, you might ask that I scatter all the ashes. You might prefer someone else to, or maybe different family members or friends will take part in turn - each saying a few words of their own.
​
You might want some music to be played, or a reading or poem. It's for you and others to decide on the ceremony details. My role will be to offer support and to make sure those present experience a ceremony that is both fitting, memorable and meaningful.

Data Protection and Privacy Policy
As a celebrant, I receive personal information from you e.g. names, phone numbers and email addresses for the purpose of writing your ceremony script. Inevitably, a ceremony that best reflects your wishes and celebrates a life is, by its nature, personal. All information received by me is stored securely and is only used for the specific purpose of producing a personalised ceremony. It will not be passed on to or sold to any third parties.
Live ceremony scripts might be shared with a colleague in the event that I am unable to undertake a ceremony owing to illness or accident.
The personal information that you provide for the purpose of building a ceremony will be retained by me in case you require my services again and where such continuity is desirable. If you wish to have all your information erased immediately following a ceremony, or at any time thereafter, please get in touch by phone or email to confirm this and I will act accordingly
Scattering or interring of ashes
A special way to say 'goodbye'
​
There are many reasons you might choose to hold a ceremony to scatter or inter ashes. It could be that the funeral was large and formal, and you want a more intimate, personal opportunity for close friends or family to gather together to say a final 'goodbye'.
​
A ceremony to scatter or inter ashes can be particularly moving. Often, the location is one that brings back special memories of the person who has died.
​
For this and many other reasons, it’s important that the ceremony that accompanies the scattering or interment feels exactly right.
