A celebrant led ceremony is based on the wishes, beliefs, and values of a departed loved one. As your Celebrant, it would be my privilege to lead and coordinate this final farewell on your behalf, be it a cremation, burial, scattering ceremony or memorial.

I will meet with you to explain and discuss the ceremony and gather information necessary to compose a beautifully crafted tribute. I can help with any choices of music, poetry, readings, and personal touches such as symbolic gestures to help reflect the unique life being remembered. Readings from family or friends can be an important part of the service and I will provide guidance and support as required.

Performed at a location of the family's choice, the service may or may not have religious content, but it will provide a personalised, dignified and meaningful celebration of a person's life - allowing people to acknowledge their loss, pay tribute to a life lived, and to find comfort as their own lives move on.

"Together, we will create a unique and memorable ceremony."

Hello,

I'm Sally, a Funeral Celebrant covering Essex, East Anglia and London (although I am happy to travel further afield). I live in Burnham-On-Crouch on the Saltmarsh Coast.

Every life lived is unique. I work closely with bereaved families to create a personalised ceremony in memory of a departed loved one. My passion is to deliver a service which celebrates their life, respecting any known wishes and beliefs, and reflecting the needs and desires of the family.

My life and work experience have spanned the private, public and care sectors, liaising with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. My career has focused primarily on fostering the highest quality interpersonal relationships, creative writing, organisational development and project management. I am experienced in managing delicate and emotional situations.

I trained at the highest level to obtain the National Diploma in Funeral Celebrancy. As a member of the Institute of Civil Funerals, I adhere to the Funeral Celebrancy Accord and Code of Practice. I am also DBS checked and have full public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Committed to a programme of continuous learning, I ensure my industry knowledge and practices are current and comprehensive for my clients.

Qualification: NOCN Level 3 Diploma in Funeral Celebrancy.

Memberships: Institute of Civil Funerals, The Funeral Celebrancy Accord.

I am grateful and privileged to now combine my professional skillset in service to families and friends at what can be a challenging and distressing time. I do so with love, kindness and empathy.
