Spiritual, mixed-faith & non-religious
funeral and life celebration ceremonies full of heart
celebrating the lives of loved ones
As an Independent Funeral Celebrant it is my privilege to help people find the right words.
I will create and deliver a bespoke, caring and loving ceremony that honours your loved one and supports those they leave behind.
As an Independent Celebrant, my services can be spiritual, multi-faith or non-religious and I am experienced at working with families who feel overwhelmed and unsure where to start.
A life celebration can take place anywhere, from your own home and garden to a place you loved to walk together. We can create a ceremony to include contributions from friends and family, or I can deliver the whole service. There are no limitations.
I work with Funeral Directors, Natural Burial Grounds and also direct with families who want an alternative to traditional services. My experience and connections mean that I can connect you with the right people to make the life celebration you want for your loved one, a reality.
As a member of the Association of Independent Celebrants, I am constantly getting the latest updates and training available in my sector. I am fully insured. I have a simple guarantee; if you are not totally happy with the ceremony I create and deliver, you get your money back in full.
I know how hard it can be to start planning a service for a loved one. I’ve created this short guide to help you begin to put something together. Your Celebrant or Minister will support you through the process.

recent Client feedback
“Dad’s cremation service was made so much more personal with your ceremony. Thank you for helping us to find a way to say goodbye. It was beautiful.”
“Dinah helped us to create a ceremony for our son’s life celebration with care and real empathy. We could never have had such a special service without her help, guidance and support. We would not hesitate to recommend Dinah to anyone.”
