🌟 I am absolutely thrilled and incredibly humbled to share some very special news... 🌟
I have been nominated for Funeral Officiant/Celebrant of the Year 2026 in the AGFD Good Funeral Awards. 💚
To be recognised in such a prestigious national award is a true honour, and I honestly feel so humbled and grateful.
As many of you know, being a Celebrant is so much more than a job to me—it is a privilege. Every family who places their trust in me allows me to tell the story of someone they love, and I never take that responsibility for granted.
Creating truly personal celebrations of life, writing bespoke tributes and poems, and helping families through one of the most difficult days of their lives is something I feel incredibly passionate about. It is an honour every single time.
I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported me, recommended me, trusted me with your loved ones, and believed in what I do. It means more than you will ever know. ❤️
Nominations remain open until 1st August, with the finalists being announced on 17th August.
If you have experienced one of my services and feel I have made a difference, I would be truly honoured if you wished to nominate me.

With love,
