Cremations, Burials, Interments,
& Scattering of Ashes
I am a Independent, Cotswolds-based, Civil Funeral Celebrant specialising in Cremations, Burials, Natural Burials, Scattering of Ashes and Interments, Memorials, Living Funerals, Remembrance Services and Celebrations of Life.
I am here to support you during this emotionally difficult time to create a meaningful and heartfelt service that honours and reflects the life and values of your loved one.
What is a Funeral Celebrant?
An independent civil funeral celebrant not only officiates funeral and memorial services, but they are also a trained professional who supports families during their time of grief, giving them freedom to create a beautiful and bespoke funeral service, exactly as they would want it, honouring the wishes and beliefs of the individual.
“Jeremy infused the service with dignity
and grandeur”
Unlike religious officiants, I embrace and combine differing philosophies and beliefs and am able to provide non-religious or semi-religious services, embracing a wide range of spiritual or cultural beliefs. I work closely with you to understand your traditions and values, creating a service which can include as much or as little religious content or spirituality as you wish.
Funeral Services I Offer
Ceremony Creation
I will meet with you and your family to discuss your loved one’s life story and create a service that reflects their personality, values, and beliefs. From selecting appropriate readings and music to incorporating rituals or symbolic gestures, ensuring that every aspect of the service is carefully thought out.
Officiation
I am an experienced funeral celebrant, and will conduct the funeral or memorial service with compassion, empathy, and sensitivity. I will guide you through the process and ensure everything runs smoothly on the day. After the funeral I can provide you with a keepsake script if you wish.
Eulogies
If you have a family member or friend who wishes to speak during the service but would like assistance with their tribute, I can provide support and help.
Pre-Planning & Pre-Arrangement
For individuals who wish to plan their own funeral in advance, I can help you articulate your wishes and preferences, ensuring that your funeral reflects your unique life story and desires.
