Funeral Celebrant
Personalised Funeral Ceremonies, Celebrations of Life and Memorials
I am a warm, friendly and compassionate, fully trained and insured Independent Funeral Celebrant in Teesside. I specialise in creating personalised funeral ceremonies, meaningful celebrations of life, living funerals and memorial services that truly reflect the person being remembered.
You can contact me directly or through your chosen Funeral Director. I work with and respect people of all faiths and those with none, ensuring every ceremony feels inclusive and supportive.
A Personalised Farewell for Your Loved One
A funeral ceremony is a deeply important moment, a final opportunity to honour and celebrate a life. Every ceremony I write tells a story of love, capturing all chapters of a person’s journey from birth through to their final chapter. Together, we mark their life, their character, their relationships and the memories that will live on.
No two lives are the same, and no two ceremonies should be either.
Funeral Services Across Teesside and Surrounding Areas
Funeral ceremonies can take place in a variety of settings, including:
Crematorium chapels
Gravesides
Natural burial grounds
Hotels or function rooms
Community venues
Your own home or garden
Wherever you choose to say goodbye, I will create a ceremony that feels right for you and your family.
A Ceremony Designed Around You
This is your service for your person.
You can choose the music, readings, prayers or symbolic elements that feel meaningful. Whether you would like a traditional funeral ceremony or a more contemporary celebration of life, I will support you in creating something that reflects your loved one’s wishes and your family’s beliefs.
My role is to gently guide and support you through the process, helping you create a ceremony that honours your loved one while supporting you in your grief.
Family Involvement and Personal Tributes
Many families wish to take part in the ceremony by:
Reading poetry
Sharing personal memories
Delivering a tribute
Reading the eulogy themselves
All of this is absolutely possible. You may choose to speak on the day, or you may prefer me to speak on your behalf. I will ensure everything is handled with care and sensitivity.
My Process – Support from the First Call
From the moment you contact me, I work alongside you and your family at your pace.
We will meet in person in a relaxed, comfortable setting to talk about your loved one. This conversation allows me to gather the stories, memories, music choices and readings that will shape the ceremony.
You will receive the full written script before the funeral, allowing you to amend or add anything you wish. This ensures the ceremony is exactly how you want it.
Families I have supported often describe me as friendly, approachable and professional, and say they felt truly listened to during a difficult time.
A Keepsake to Treasure
This is your service for your person.
Following the ceremony, if you wish, I will provide you with a keepsake copy of the complete script, a lasting reminder of the words shared in honour of your loved one.
Completely Original, Written Just for You
I do not use AI-generated scripts, copy-and-paste content, or templated ceremonies. Every funeral ceremony I create is written individually, based entirely on your loved one’s life and your family’s wishes.
