Funerals

This can be a very difficult and emotional time for you.  I understand this, so provide a sympathetic and caring service, giving you a personal ceremony filled with meaning and love.  Using a celebrant allows to have a service written especially for you, which can include religion*, poetry, prose or music suited to your taste and wishes.

​

*a Humanist will not include any religious wording or symbolism

 

The charge for my services starts at £230

This includes:

​

• A 2-hour face to face meeting with you (or via the internet or telephone during Covid if you prefer)

• Delivering the service

• I will work with you to create a unique service for you and your family, the final approval of the service is yours

• I can guide you on appropriate readings and prose if required

• We will have contact after our initial meeting via phone, email, or the internet (Zoom, Skype, etc.)

• Edits of the script are included in the price

• I will give you an individual presentation of your service, with space for cards and mementos

• I can provide music for outside services

• If you have any special requests, my style of dress can reflect the occasion

• Prayers can be included in the service (a Humanist will not be able to do this)

• Location within a 30-mile radius of Hertfordshire*

​

Optional services of a professional photographer can be arranged if required (price not included in the £250).  This is proving popular at the moment for people who are unable to attend the service. Images are supplied on a USB flash drive and can be viewed privately by a password protected link online.  I also offer a hardback 'coffee table' style book personally created for you to remember the event.  Price on application.

​

*Travel/accommodation expenses may be added depending on location

Please note, a 50% deposit is required at the first meeting (unless payment is via the Funeral Director)
