Farewells. End of Life Ceremonies Funerals, Memorials, Celebrations of life.

All lives should be honoured, commemorated and celebrated. We are all unique and end of life ceremonies should reflect that.

Organising a funeral or end-of-life ceremony for a loved one is often one of the most challenging things we can do.

We want to honour our loved ones, and to do things right for them.

But grief makes things so much harder.
It makes the decisions and choices so much harder.

You might not even be aware of all of the possibilites.
One size doesn't fit all.

Let me hold your hand through this, and give your loved one the best send-off that we possibly can.

Whether you wish to have a traditional farewell, a unique ceremony with love and dignity, or something a little alternative or unusual,

We will work together to create a ceremony that reflects your loved one, totally.

Allow me to support you from beginning to end

I will work with you and your chosen Funeral Director (if you choose to use one), to create the perfect ceremony.

If you haven't yet appointed a Funeral Director and wish to do so, I can recommend some excellent ones that I have worked alongside if you wish.

I will meet with you (in person, via a video call, or by phone) to discuss your requirements.

We will discuss whether you want me to create and deliver everything, or whether you or your family and friends want a small or large involvement in creating and delivering the ceremony.

We will discuss music choices, whether to include readings and poems, and whether or not you wish to have religion and faith included in the ceremony or not.

All of the choices are yours, and I will work with you and support you throughout.

About Me

It is an honour to work alongside families and clients, who allow me into their world to create together meaningful ceremonies. It is a privilege and an honour to help create ceremonies and care for the families I work with.

I am a fully trained Independent Civil Celebrant with a number of years of experience, working with the bereaved; creating beautiful ceremonies to honour their memories.

I am empathetic and caring and have undertaken grief counselling training to help me to help you in this difficult time.

My Package

My fee for funerals is usually £235 for ceremonies within 20 miles of ST17 4LZ.
(I am available for ceremonies beyond this distance, but travel and/or accommodation charges may need to be added).

I will work with your wishes to create and deliver a beautiful and meaningful ceremony for:

  • Burials and Cremations
  • Direct Cremation with a separate ceremony Memorial ceremonies.
  • Scattering or interment of Ashes.

Ceremonies don't have to always be held in the expected venues, of churches, crematoria or burial grounds.  There are so many other options that we can discuss.

Within my fee:

  • I can create a visual tribute - a selection of photographs or videos, set to music (to be played during the ceremony in venues with suitable facilities).
  • I will assist you in the creation of printed Orders of Ceremony and I will liaise with your designer or Funeral Director.
  • For a small additional fee, I can provide keepsake ceremony copies, copies of visual tributes, and other meaningful ceremony momentoes.

I can also help you if you want to pre-prepare your own funeral ceremony, whether it is hopefully, a long time in the future, or more imminent.

Loved ones often find it so helpful, if the deceased has informed them in some way, what they wanted for their funeral.

Get In Touch

Give me a call for a chat, or maybe we can arrange to meet for a coffee, or have a video call. Alternatively, you can email me or use the contact form.

If you are using a Funeral Director, you can ask them to contact me.

Please also ask them to check that I am free before they finalise the date for the ceremony.

Kind Words

Sharon thank you, so much, for really doing Dave proud last Thursday.

The way you delivered Dave’s funeral service was so perfect and exactly what Dave wanted and yet again just like our wedding, everybody commented on how personal and unique you made it.

Also Thankyou for your steady hand at the beginning, for a few moments I really didn’t think I was going to get through it but your touch and kind presence really did help - you have an amazing calming aura and it really helped me ready myself for the service

Stockport Re -Dave

I went to a funeral today of a lady whom I did not know, but Sharon made sure this lady went off to her next life with a beautiful service!

Full of people who wanted to show their respect. Sharon conducted one of the most fitting and beautiful tributes to this lady and cannot put into words how moved I was God bless you and your efforts to send this lady home in style.

Full of admiration for Sharon - yes she’s my sister but did a wonderful job of our mum’s funeral which must surely be the most difficult ceremony she will ever conduct xxx

Stafford Dad's Funeral

Hi Sharon

I just wanted to put on record my thanks for the way you conducted the Service of Thanksgiving for my Dad
yesterday.

You created a most moving tribute, showing great empathy and delivered with such clarity that was appreciated
by all who were able to attend.

Your advice to me on our phone call was also appreciated, that gave me the little nudge and confidence to give
it a go and when I reflect in the future, I will be pleased that I did. Thanks again and my best wishes.

Stafford Thanks

I just wanted to send you a message to thank you for yesterday.

I'm afraid I spent much of the time in tears, but nonetheless I appreciated everything you did!

From start to finish, everything was pitched perfectly. You speak beautifully, with warmth and feeling. I am completely in awe of your skill at negotiating your way through what is one of the worst days in people's life and giving complete justice to all that has been disclosed to you. My Mum also agrees with all the above and has had others commenting on what a lovely send off it was.

I apologise for being the emotional one, but I'm guessing you are pretty used to that!

Sending all good wishes to you and thank you so very, very much.
