Everyone is different and so each ceremony is unique, honouring the person in a way that is meaningful. My gentle and respectful approach, is never rushed nor prescriptive, I will encourage and support you as much as you wish, welcoming participation in the planning and delivery.
As your celebrant I will work with you to create the service that brings comfort to the bereaved and is entirely fitting for the deceased, capturing their special qualities.
I can also deliver a celebration of life service or Memorial at a venue of your choice, an outside venue, hotel, village hall or at home in your garden. This is becoming increasingly popular as families decide on Direct Cremation followed by a memorial service to celebrate a loved one’s passing.
I am on hand to guide you through options and discuss your wishes fully.
My commitment is to be there for you from your decision to work with me as your celebrant through to delivery of the service on the day, and everything in between. I am there to provide calm at this turbulent and distressing time.
You can request me if you have appointed a Funeral Director, or you can contact me directly.
“Authentic, kind, patient and a wonderful way with words. I just wanted to hug you for everything you did for my sister. You just got us!”
“Your words were beautiful and such a fine tribute to the amazing woman my mum was. Thank you again for your kindness and compassion”.
"Your attention to detail, patience and calmness during a heart breaking time is what was needed to make our “Goodbye” so much easier.“
"I just want to say a big thank you for all you did for the family, including working late at night! You coped with some of the family differences so well and your ideas were great."
"You have captured dad's life beautifully. So patient, so personal. We always felt safe in your hands and you went over and above. Many thanks for your help and kindness"
"Thanks for guiding us through what was a very difficult time for us. Your patience and guiding and steady hand was very much appreciated. I don’t know what we would have done without you. "
"Our "Pops" would have loved it! It was very emotional but also very calming and uplifting at the same time - I don't think I have ever felt like that at a funeral before. You were absolutely brilliant and the perfect person to run this for us as you understood how, as a family, we wanted this to work to make it so special."
"Jac wrote beautiful words which exactly fitted what we needed to say goodbye to our father. She turned a very sad occasion into one we will cherish, remember and believe he would have been very proud of. Her gentle manner, compassion, understanding and light made the day more manageable."
"Thank you for the keepsake of the service. I was so moved. To sit quietly and read it was so calming. I found myself remembering Dawn and all the times we shared and the “blousy seeds” were a lovely thought and perfectly chosen by you. Your attention to detail is second to none."
