Supporting Life’s Most Significant Moments
Naming Ceremonies
Naming ceremonies are so much more than just welcoming babies (though those are wonderful too). They're about celebrating identity, honouring transitions, and bringing people together to witness important moments.
I'm especially passionate about adoption naming ceremonies (being adopted myself, this is very close to my heart), blended family celebrations, individuals announcing gender change, their true identity, and anyone going through a name change that deserves to be celebrated with love and joy.
Perfect for:
- Baby and child namings
- Adoption celebrations
- Blended family ceremonies when families unite
- Transgender identity celebrations and coming out ceremonies
- Divorce liberation name changes
Adult name changes marking new chapters

- Pre-ceremony consultation to understand your unique journey

Honouring Every Story
Every Laugh
Funeral & Celebration of Life Ceremonies
While traditional funeral ceremonies have their place and are important in honouring loved ones, I also love helping families create celebrations that truly show who their loved one was – their terrible dad jokes, their passions, their kindness, the way they made people laugh, the hobbies they loved, the values they lived by.
I specialise in joyful celebrations of life that focus on the wonderful presence someone had in people's lives rather than just the sadness of loss. Colourful, heartfelt ceremonies that guests remember thinking "that was SO them."
Types of ceremonies I create:
- Traditional crematorium services
- Celebration of life ceremonies in meaningful locations
- Natural woodland burials
- Eco-friendly ceremonies with biodegradable materials
- Internment of ashes in special places
- Memorial services held weeks or months later
I'm passionate about working with families who want greener, more natural options – woodland burial grounds, wildflower meadows, ceremonies that promote biodiversity and environmental conservation.
What's included:
- Compassionate consultation to learn about your loved one
- Support choosing poems, readings and music
- Beautifully crafted ceremony script honouring their life
- Unlimited support when you need it most
- Liaison with funeral directors
- Ceremony delivery (25-30 minutes as a guide)
Investment: £200-£250
