Non-religious Funerals & Memorials
Merseyside and the surrounding area
How we'll work together ...
making sure that you, your family and friends experience a ceremony that's right for you and that focuses on all that matters about the one who has died.
First we'll meet - either face-to-face or on Zoom - and you'll tell me about the kind of ceremony you're looking for – the feel of it, the music, readings, poems and contributions from others. We'll talk about the life of the person who has died – maybe their childhood, their achievements, their work, their family, their character, holidays, hobbies, children, grandchildren - everything and anything that gives meaning to your memory of their life.
I'll produce a draft script of the ceremony, and then make any amendments you need. On the day itself, I'll lead the ceremony for you. Afterwards I'll give you a copy of the script - for you to keep as a memento.
My aim is to provide a ceremony that is both memorable and fitting. I will also ease some of the burden that comes with planning a funeral. With my support in the days leading up to the funeral, you and your family will have a little more time and space to focus on your own feelings.

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
Individual and meaningful non-religious funerals
An individual expression of
love and respect
​
Funerals are significant rituals. They matter. It’s important that we conduct funerals in a way that feels right - for ourselves as well as a sign of respect or an expression of love for the person who has died.
​
Funerals are a time to say goodbye to someone who was important to us, as well as an opportunity to celebrate their lives. While death is part of the life cycle, funerals mark the end of an era – the life of an individual.
​
When we die we continue to live on through other people’s memories of us – those people we care about, those we have known, those we have made some impression on.
​
This is why I lead non-religious funerals.
