Yesterday I went to the National Funeral Exhibition. It was fascinating to see so many suppliers to the funeral industry in one place. I particularly enjoyed meeting the resomation (water cremation) team. Also lovely to catch up with my celebrant friends.

Have you considered how a themed wedding could reflect both your personalities? With the world cup coming up many couples may have planned their ceremony and reception around football matches. If you are both fans, why not embrace the whole thing and go for a football themed wedding? As an independent celebrant I'm more than happy to get on board with a theme of your choice.

There is a fascinating piece in The Telegraph online today about living funerals and celebrations of life. A wonderful and touching way to say goodbye to your loved ones before they die. Such an event would support those in end of life care or with terminal illness. Also , perhaps a valid choice for those who are planning a direct cremation. As a Celebrant I would support you every step of the way. Photo Kevin Grieve on Unsplash

I'm excited to be attending the National Funeral Exhibition in a couple of weeks. I look forward to interesting key note speakers and meeting suppliers and service providers. It's also a chance to meet up with some of my Celebrant besties to swap stories and generally put the world to rights.

Applying for and receiving a Gender Recognition Certificate (which allows an individuals preferred gender to be legally recognised by the state) can feel like a long and arduous process. Some people choose to celebrate this milestone with a Gender Recognition Ceremony, led by a Celebrant, to introduce their true and authentic self to family, friends and the wider community. Contact me if you'd like more details.

Wild flowers and the sound of birdsong at Westmill Natural Burial Ground. A serene way to return your loved one to the earth's embrace.
