I love the work of a celebrant which for me has two very different aspects.
The Namings, Weddings and Partnership ceremonies are all joyous occasions. It is very satisfying, and a great privilege, to be involved in these special ceremonies. I enjoy getting to know my clients and writing for them a script which is meaningful and personal to them, and which they will look back on fondly in the years to come. I feel it is writing an important part of the clients’ ‘history.’
However it is also a great privilege to be involved in funerals. I find it humbling to be invited into the home of a recently bereaved family to discuss the life of the person who has died. With the family I create a unique, ‘celebration,’ of the life and individuality of their loved one.
You do not have to be a member of the British Humanist Association to have a Humanist Ceremony. If you want a non-religious celebration this is probably going to suit your needs.
There are few limits to what is possible in a ceremony, so whether you have ideas of your own already, would like to be creative about your ceremony with lots of ideas and suggestions from me, or want to be very traditional, please contact me and we can work on a very memorable script, personal and tailored just for you.
I am happy to travel to the following areas to conduct ceremonies: Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Wiltshire and Dorset, or other areas by arrangement.
