NOCN Accredited/Qualified✅️

Runner-Up🏅in the 2024 AOIC Awards for the category 'Outstanding Funeral Celebrant'. I am a passionate and dedicated Independent Civil Celebrant based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire - but this need not be a restriction to where I can practice celebrancy. I work very closely with the individuals and families to create bespoke, beautiful and memorable ceremonies to be ch

erished forevermore. I am a member of the Association of Independent Celebrants, a professional body who strive for excellence. Before I trained in civil celebrancy, I had an established and successful teaching career as a secondary Religious Studies teacher as I graduated with a degree in Theology & Education from BG University College in Lincoln. I taught Religious Studies and Philosophy & Ethics for many years, teaching up to A-Level and spent some time as a Head of Department in a local school in Calderdale. In more recent years I have thrived and enjoyed working as a supply teacher in and around Huddersfield, continuing to positively contribute to the growth of young people. This is something I continue to do alongside my work as a Celebrant. My teaching career has brought many honed skills and a whole host of experience to my role as a Celebrant. I am charismatic, approachable and I have you at the very heart of all I do. Some of you might recognise me from driving local bus services in and around the Huddersfield area - I also hold a full bus PSV licence. I am a dynamic character, who will help you create the ceremony of your dreams or one that is incredibly fitting for the occasion in hand. Don't hesitate to get in touch! I would love to talk to you about what you want to achieve. There is no other way!

*Shay Grange*

Yesterday afternoon saw a celebration of a life of 91 years. A woman who was social, outgoing and loved her family immensely.

A wonderful turnout that was testament to the character she was.

Thank you to Sylvia and the team from H Bates in Queensbury.

*Huddersfield Crematorium Chapel*

It was standing room only at Huddersfield Crematorium this morning, where we gathered to say farewell to a true legend. A lady who was a remarkable character in many ways. We certainly didn't use the word legendary lightly.

Thank you to Tony and the team from Taylor Funeral Service.

Just a quick note that after 9 days away in Fuerteventura, I am back. Whilst taking it easier for another couple of days, I am seeing families from the 2nd and taking services from the 3rd onwards.

You know where I am, if you need me. September and October diaries are truly open.

Rested and recharged.

Thank you

James ❤️

It was a short hop over to Dewsbury Moor Crematorium for my second service today.

It was a beautiful combination of tributes. Some written by her family.

Now reunited with her beloved husband who departed the world 4 years ago. Together eternally.

This monkey puzzle tree outside the chapel always captures my attention.

After the rain of yesterday, it was dry and sunny at Hey Lane Cemetery for this morning's service.

A life gone too soon, but we remembered her with lots of love and gratitude.

The cemetery sits not far from the foot of Huddersfield's Castle Hill.

Thank you for these kind reviews on Google.

From services officiated alongside Deborah Ingham Funeral Service and Williamson Funeral Service (with the support of Angelcare).

These words mean a great deal, especially at such a difficult time.
