Funeral or Memorial
Celebrate the Life of Your Loved One in a Meaningful Funeral or Memorial Ceremony with Janet Your Celebrant
Celebrating a Life Well-Lived
Are you seeking a compassionate and experienced celebrant to craft a meaningful and fitting Funeral or Memorial Ceremony for a recently deceased loved one?
I am Janet, an independent celebrant specialising in creating and leading joyous and respectful ceremonies that celebrate the lives of those no longer with us.
Creating Your Ceremony
- Personal Touch: I listen to your memories and stories about your loved one, ensuring the ceremony captures their essence and celebrates their life.
- Flexible Content: Whether you have specific elements in mind or need guidance, I help you find the right words, music, poems, or readings to create a personalised ceremony.
- Contributions from Loved Ones: I bring together heartfelt words and contributions from family and friends, creating a segment called “A Life Remembered” that forms the core of the ceremony.
- Inclusion of Beliefs: Religious or spiritual elements, such as prayers or hymns that reflect the deceased’s beliefs, can be included.
I am truly touched by your warm words of support and comfort. You will never know how much your expertise and general humanity have made this process more bearable for me. Thank you. The knowledge that you’ll be there on the big day fills me with so much more confidence.

How it Works:
Creating Your Personalised Ceremony with Janet
Working together to craft a special and unforgettable ceremony is a collaborative and heartfelt process. Here is how we can make it happen:
Initial Contact
Reach Out: Contact me with the date of your ceremony and how I can assist you.
Meet and Discuss
Face-to-Face or Online Meeting: We arrange a meeting, either in person or online, to discuss your needs and wishes for the ceremony.
Understanding Your Vision
Getting to Know You: I listen to your stories, preferences, and what you want to include, ensuring the ceremony reflects your unique vision and the essence of your loved one.
Drafting the Ceremony
First Draft: I write the initial draft of the ceremony, incorporating your input and ideas.
Review and Finalise
Amendments: You review the draft, and I make any necessary amendments. Together, we finalise the ceremony well in advance of the date.

Warm Welcome: On the day of the ceremony, I welcome you and ensure everything is in place for a smooth and stress-free event.
Delivering with Heart
Ceremony Delivery: I deliver your ceremony from the heart, ensuring it is a beautiful occasion that will be remembered for a long time.
I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you did both in the preparation and on the day. The organisation was superb and you interpreted everything so perfectly for all of us. It was such a beautiful service. It was exactly as L would have wanted, had she been able to put her mind to the matter.
I was fairly terrified about the whole day, but from the second you greeted us as we walked into the Pavillion, I felt reassured and safe, and I cannot thank you enough for that.
It’s a wonderful job that you do.
You did a sterling job at C’s memorial service. My family and I continue to thank you abundantly.
