Naming Ceremonies

A naming ceremony welcomes your child into your family and wider community. Parents and guardians have the opportunity to make a commitment and set intentions for their child’s future.

 Celebrating the change in one's name can be one of the most meaningful steps to express identity. Whether it is for gender expression, after divorce or for professional reasons, this is an opportunity to share and celebrate your personal milestone.

Names make such a difference to how we identify with ourselves and those around us. The changing or giving of a name is a joyous and personal event in which loved ones can come together to celebrate. My aim is to support you by developing and delivering a memorable ceremony.

What to expect

  • An initial meeting to explore a range of ceremonies and celebrations.
  • This is a personal journey that will allow you to make choices of how you want yourself or your child to be welcomed. 
  • For naming a child, ‘mentors’/’fairy godmothers’/’supporters’ are often appointed to offer their support throughout the life of the child.
  • Is there any music you might want played, any readings or stories that you like? Would you like to use unity candles? There are many ways we can conduct this ceremony!
  • There are no rules or limitations (as long as it's legal).  I will be there to guide you every step of the way. 

How much this will cost

  • The cost for ceremonies in the Sussex area is £250. 
  • For ceremonies further afield, the cost will be reflective of additional time and travel.

Get in touch to create a naming ceremony personal to you or your child.

 Plan the service you would wish for to say goodbye and reduce the need for loved ones to second guess. 

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.

What to expect

  • Meeting for about an hour, (although this can be via zoom or phone if you prefer), and share your memories,  involving family members or friends if you wish.
  • Gather facts as well as all important stories and discuss what you would like for the service.  Are there songs you would like at various times of the services?  Is there a favourite poem or reading?  Do you want others to be involved, possibly delivering a tribute or a reading? There is “no one size fits all” approach!
  • I will prepare a eulogy reflecting our discussions with warmth and a smile. You will have the opportunity to view this to be sure you are absolutely comfortable with what is going to be shared.
  • When the day arrives, I will deliver the ceremony, and be there as an ongoing support.

How much this will cost

  • The cost for ceremonies in the Sussex area is £200. 

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.
