Southend Celebrant

Funerals sadly often happen suddenly leaving you to make quick decisions you may not have been otherwise prepared for.   Having a celebrant work with you means that you can take the time to consider how you want to celebrate their life.    You may want to include music or songs, or perhaps a reading or a poem that reminds you of your loved one. I then design a heartfelt ceremony that is both personal and unique.

​I can provide you with either a funeral ceremony or celebration of life service.  Both offer a gentle avenue into the mourning process.  The main difference between them is the presence of the body.  At a funeral, it is held at a crematorium the body is present, while at a celebration of life the body absent, and these ceremonies can be held anywhere of your choice.

​Also, a Celebration of life can be carried out any time, from a day after your loved one has passed or a year, its what suits you.  It could be on a special anniversary you both share, or their birthday, or the anniversary of their passing.  There are really no limited with the Celebration of Life Ceremonies.

I am Southend based and cover mainly local funerals but can do celebration of life services further afield
