Below are the services I offer – get in touch and we can talk about what fits.

Funerals


A complete, personal funeral ceremony – written from scratch, based on what you tell me about your loved one’s life and your preferences. With or without any religious content, whichever’s appropriate.

Get in touch >

Keepsake Ceremony


A printed or digital keepsake version of the ceremony itself, so your family has something lasting to keep and return to.


Included in the cost of preparing the funeral — no extra charge.

Ashes-scattering Ceremonies


A simple, heartfelt ceremony to mark the scattering of ashes — wherever that takes place — again, tailor-made for (and with) you and your family

Memorial Ceremonies


A ceremony to mark an anniversary, unveiling, or any occasion where you want to remember and celebrate someone’s life together — this often takes place a few months after the funeral.

Pre-planned Funerals


Planning your own funeral in advance, in your own words, so your family knows exactly what you’d want — and doesn’t have to guess at a difficult time.

Eulogy-Writing Service


If you’d like a eulogy written or polished — for a funeral I’m not leading, or for you to deliver yourself — I can help you find the right words.

How It Works

1. We talk

We’ll meet and talk, properly, before I write a word. I’ll ask about your loved one’s life, their story, the small things as much as the big ones. 

2. I write

A first draft built from what you’ve told me.

3. You shape it

Nothing’s fixed until you’re happy — every word, step, reading and piece of music is your choice.

4. We deliver it together, on the day. 

Family members and others can be involved as much or as little as you like (or not at all). The main constraint here is time.
