Rachael Meyer, Humanist Celebrant

Rachael Meyer is a humanist funeral, memorial and celebration of life celebrant, based in Harrogate and covering Leeds and York. Her ceremonies are highly personalised, story-led,  uplifting and memorable.

With years of experience of working with people, professional, creative and engaging writing skills, a genuine interest in people's stories, an easy nature and a natural delivery, you can be sure of a heartwarming, grand goodbye for your loved one.

Rachael can be booked direct through her website or by phone/email - and please do call for a chat before you decide - or you can ask your funeral director to arrange everything if you are having a traditional funeral service at a crematorium.

She will meet with you for a couple of hours to learn all about the life of the deceased and to plan the ceremony so it meets your wishes and those of your loved one and then will craft a bespoke script that matches the required tone, whether it follows the traditional format or something a little different. Her ceremonies are totally unique to each individual with a lot of care and attention given to the story of your loved one's life. And they're definitely not boring. Once you've approved the script, Rachael will deliver the ceremony on the day and will give you a presentation copy of the script as a keepsake.

As a professional video producer for 10 years before her celebrancy work, Rachael is also able to create a beautiful, collaborative 30-minute life story documentary video about the deceased. Featuring a scripted voiceover, photos, video clips and video memories from family, friends and colleagues, a life story documentary video is ideal to share online or to keep for prosterity.
