Rupert Callender didn’t know what to do with his life until he realised he could help people mark the deaths of their loved ones. Just don’t mention pallbearers and the other traditional trappings

Wonderful reviews of my new book, thank you! Please share with all your family and friends, it is a book that we all need to read.

Sarah Chapman thoroughly guides you like a warm friend and teacher through the options and customs available to you and your family and friends for all of your end-of-life decisions. Her book is not only educational but accessible. It is user-friendly and easy to read, to help keep you from feeling overwhelmed. Quite frankly she removes a lot of the fear of having to plan and make end-of-life arrangements.
This is an event that we will all face at some point and Sarah Chapman and her wonderful guide are here to make this as easy for you and your friends and family as possible.

Thank you for this great review! My book is available to buy in Waterstones, WH Smiths, Amazon and also as an ebook. Please share with all your family and friends, it is a book that we all need to read.

A handy resource for options that are available to adults looking at end-of-life decisions. I value the care and effort that the author has put into the book, and I hope to see more relevant titles like this pop up for the subcultures and areas that desire them. This is a beautifully written and incredibly useful guide to help everyone navigate a difficult time. Though most people will not read this until they, unfortunately, have to prepare for a funeral, I am grateful I read it just to be informed ahead of time.

I received this wonderful review on my new book recently. Please share with all your family and friends, it is a book that we all need to read:

What an excellent guide this is . At times of stress you need something which is comprehensive but easy to understand and assimilate. Whether this is to assist you in planning and arranging a loved one’s final farewell or in leaving a list of wishes for your own celebration of life this matter of fact, clear title tome explains all the current (and some future) options. It has certainly helped me clarify my thoughts on what I would want and the range of resources given is the most comprehensive I have come across. In my experience it makes the task of arranging a funeral much less stressful - fewer sleepless nights wondering if your loved one would be happy with what you are planning, if the person leaves you an idea of their wishes. This book will help you do that.

My good friend Michelle Gould is an excellent Event Planner and I would highly recommend her. I have been the celebrant at events she has planned and she is reliable as well as being creative. Give her a call!

My new book is now published!

Drawing upon my years of experience as an Independent Celebrant working in the funeral industry, I have uniquely collated all the key information needed in a single comprehensive book. My book will support you from the moment someone dies to their funeral while also empowering you to plan your own end of life care and ceremony.

My step by step guide will take away the fear and uncertainty you may feel when faced with arranging the funeral of a loved one. It will give you back control in creating a fitting ceremony to celebrate their life, while also providing you with the tools to plan your own funeral in a way that is unique to you. It will help you to decide on the legacy you would like to leave for future generations and you may even plan your own living ceremony before you die.
