I strongly believe that we should all have access to the type of funeral we want. With around 40% of the UK population now describing themselves as non-religious, being able to choose the way in which we say goodbye is becoming increasingly important.

​

Trained by Humanists UK, I work closely with friends and family to create meaningful, individual ceremonies that celebrate the life that has been and that reflect the person who has died. Your funeral, your way.

​

Eight years ago my father died very suddenly and my sisters and I found ourselves arranging his funeral.  We'd never had to arrange a funeral before and felt bit lost as to what to do for the best. One thing we were sure of was that we wanted a non-religious funeral, one that reflected our dad's love of music and his personality.  We found a humanist celebrant, and knew straightaway that it was the right fit for us.

 

My background is in care provision, teaching and community work, particularly with anti-poverty charities.  I am also a member of Humanists UK Pastoral Support Network (think non-religious hospital and prison chaplaincy) and am currently training as a volunteer with Addenbrookes Hospital to be able to support patients and their families.  In 2020 I will start training to become a death doula, providing care and support to people at the end of their lives.

 

I am based in Cambridge but work all across East Anglia.  Please take a look around my web site for more information on the services I provide, and do get in touch if you have any questions.
