TYPES OF FUNERAL
Celebrant-led funerals
A bespoke, personal ceremony led by a civil celebrant — no set form of words, and nothing included that does not belong to the person you are remembering.
A celebrant-led funeral is written from scratch. The celebrant meets the family, listens to the stories, and builds a ceremony around the life that was lived — with music, readings, tributes and moments of reflection chosen by you.
It can be religious in part, entirely secular, or somewhere between. We introduce you to celebrants we trust and have worked alongside for years, and hold the whole arrangement together around the ceremony you decide on.
