More and more people are finding comfort in choosing a simple, direct cremation, followed later by a memorial ceremony — a time to gather, remember, and celebrate a life well lived. Taking things gently, with space to breathe and reflect, allows families and friends to create something truly personal and full of love.

A Funeral Director will often be the one who introduces families to a celebrant. However it is perfectly within your gift to choose your own celebrant and then advise them of your choice when you make arrangements. If you would like to plan anything to do with your ceremony in advance of actually needing me, I more than happy to help and chat with you.

We are blessed in this corner of south east Cornwall with a number of natural green burial grounds close by. These are perfect for creating a natural ceremony in a relaxed setting - with no time constraints. Also, I can help if you wish to scatter the ashes of a loved one at sea.

New parents these days often don't want a religious ceremony in a place of worship, but are still happy and proud to gather friends and family together for a Naming Ceremony. This not only celebrates baby’s safe arrival into the world but also the formal gift of their name! Together we will create a beautiful ceremony for your beautiful baby.
