Funerals & Memorials
Based in Redbourn, just outside Harpenden, I offer my services to clients across the Three Counties region. I conduct services in crematoria and cemeteries, alternative venues and other locations can also be arranged.
I am always available for a chat to discuss options and ideas. I believe strongly that the right words used at the right time can help to make any ceremony more memorable.

Personalised indoor formal funeral ceremonies
Indoor formal ceremonies normally take place in a crematorium and will include the involvement of a funeral director. The services I can provide for these kinds of ceremonies are as follows:
A meeting with the family to determine the tone and feel of the ceremony, as well as agreeing on any religious or secular elements to be included
Liaising with funeral director/arranger or venue managers regarding logistics and ceremony options
Developing the ceremony script and structure for family approval
Writing the eulogy for family approval
Advice and sourcing of readings and music
Leading the service and ensuring the family feels as involved as they want to be
Providing a keepsake copy of the final script and eulogy
Prices for this style of service start at £260

A meeting with the family to agree tone, feel and structure of the ceremony
Assistance, if needed, in finding a venue for the ceremony
Liaising with venue manager regarding logistics and event options
Guidance if needed on readings and music
Writing and agreeing with the family the final script and structure of the ceremony
