Christian Ceremonies
I offer Christian funeral services grounded in the hope, comfort and reassurance found within the Christian faith. These ceremonies may include traditional/modern hymns or meaningful music of your choosing, a personalised eulogy, prayers, readings and a short address led by myself. Every service is shaped around your beliefs and wishes, ensuring it reflects both your faith and the life of the person being remembered, in a way that feels right for you and your family.
Non Religious Ceremonies
For families seeking a non-religious ceremony, I provide services that focus on the life lived, personal memories and the stories that made your loved one unique. These ceremonies are warm, reflective and personal, allowing space for music, readings and spoken tributes chosen by you. Together, we create a service that feels genuine and meaningful, honouring your loved one in a way that reflects their personality, values and the memories you wish to share.
Faith & Reflection
For families who wish to include elements of faith alongside personal reflection, I offer combined services that gently balance both. These ceremonies may include prayers, hymns or readings, alongside stories, memories and music that reflect the individual being remembered. Each service is carefully tailored, allowing faith to sit naturally alongside personal tributes, creating a ceremony that feels inclusive, meaningful and true to both belief and individuality.
Memorials in Your Own Time
I also offer personal memorial services held at a later time and in a location of your choosing. These services can take place somewhere meaningful, such as a beach, woodland, garden or any place your loved one held close. They are particularly suited to families who were unable to attend the funeral or who feel a later, more personal gathering is right. These ceremonies allow space to reflect, remember and honour life in a way that feels natural and unhurried.
Included for all Services
If you’re here because someone has died, you may be feeling overwhelmed, unsure, or carrying a great deal. You don’t need to have the right words — just a place to begin.
I offer calm, respectful support, creating space for open conversation about how you would like the ceremony to feel. At our initial meeting there is time to share stories, memories, values, and practical details, always at your own pace.
To guides us on creating the service I provide a Ceremony Planning Guide. This helps gather the important details and gives us a shared reference point, ensuring we are clear and aligned as the ceremony takes shape. The guide remains with you for reference throughout the process.
From there, I will:
-
Write a personalised ceremony, including a eulogy or tribute if needed, and share it with you in plenty of time to review and make any changes
-
Liaise with the funeral director to ensure everything is clearly communicated and coordinated
-
Lead the ceremony on the day with calm professionalism and care
I understand that wishes may change, and I am always available to make adjustments right up until the day before the funeral.
My aim is for you to feel supported, listened to, and gently guided throughout, without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
Fees are clear and transparent, with full details available on the Pricing page.
I provide funeral and memorial services across Somerset and nearby areas.
