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

Personalised memorial ceremonies

Memorial ceremonies normally take place in venues other than a crematorium or cemetery and don’t involve the services of a funeral director. It is an opportunity to have a more informal celebration of a loved one’s life. The services I can provide for memorial ceremonies include:

  • 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

  • Writing the eulogy, if required, with family approval

  • Managing and leading the memorial ceremony ensuring as much family involvement as wanted

  • Providing a keepsake version of the final script and eulogy
