I'm an independent Christian funeral celebrant and former URC minister serving the many people who want a gently Christian funeral but have no official link to a local church. I deliver a Christian funeral service, rooted in my my own faith in Jesus, that is gentle, dignified and full of hope. My services are dignified without being stuffy and Christian without being preachy.The majority of my work is undertaken through referral from local funeral directors and word of mouth, but I am open to personal approaches.I have built a reputation for reliability, clear communication and compassion.
