    Thanks for sharing the love!

    Before dad’s funeral my husband wasn’t convinced by my choice of a non religious ceremony, he felt it was disrespectful or lacking somehow. As it is he was so moved he has decided that he wants a celebrant rather than … Read More

    It was deep but not pompous; warm but not flippant.

    Thank you for conducting such a moving & fitting service for P last week. It was a great celebration of her life, and your words & overall guiding of the event were perfect. I know she would have approved.

    The Six Cs of Creating Ceremony: 5. Celebration T The Six Cs of Creating Ceremony: 5. Celebration
This is what I’m all about. So much so that my spellcheck still gets confused about celebrant and celebrate! Celebration of your love story, your personalities and your union. Celebration of your loved one’s life, the funny things they said and the things they taught you or inspired in you. Celebrations full of joy but not toxic positivity – because it’s important also to acknowledge the grit in the shell and its role in creating the pearl.

[Image description: Testimonial from D - Very caring, professional and respectful of the family during this very emotional time. Claire's personality was perfect, even though she had not met us, she came across as one of the family. Claire helped us to celebrate our loved one's life, even down to wearing colour to the funeral. Thank you for the lovely, caring words that have helped all the family.]

    The Six Cs of Creating Ceremony: 4. Courage It so The Six Cs of Creating Ceremony: 4. Courage
It sometimes takes courage to challenge convention when it comes to ceremonies and to stay true to what YOU want when you’re faced with a barrage of ‘shoulds’ from church, traditions or even well-meaning but opinionated family members. But it is your right to be able to celebrate your love story or your loved one’s life story in a way that suits you, whether that’s quirky, pared back, full of song, religion or stormtroopers. And I’m dedicated to fighting your corner and championing your choices all the way.
