FUNERALS & MEMORIALS
Funerals and memorials throughout Oxfordshire and beyond
Saying goodbye to a loved one is never easy, but a funeral or memorial offer the opportunity to celebrate the life of the person that you’ve lost and honour their memory in a way which is completely personal to them. The early stages of losing a loved one can be overwhelming, and my role is to gently guide you through the process of creating your ceremony. I’m here to support you and your family to remember with joy, whilst giving you space to grieve.
There are two main ways that I work with families:
Funerals planned alongside Funeral Directors
I work alongside your chosen funeral director as part of their team. We spend time together in person talking about your loved one and I design a personalised farewell delivered at the crematorium or burial site of your choosing. Get in touch (07788 757822) to share ideas for your loved one’s funeral celebration.
Memorials after direct cremation
If your loved on has chosen a direct cremation as an alternative to a traditional funeral, or as part of pre-planned end of life arrangements, then a memorial is an important opportunity to bring together family and friends to mourn their passing and celebrate their life.
Memorials can take place anywhere, from a favourite hotel to a outdoor venue with views for miles. Get in touch (07788 757822) to share ideas for your memorial celebration.
What you get when you work with me
Time – I’ll spend time getting to know you and the person that you’ve lost, and I’ll listen carefully to your wishes. All the memories and stories that you share are carefully woven into your ceremony to make it completely personal.
Help – No idea where to start with readings, music or writing a eulogy? I can help with lots of support and ideas. I’m here for every step along the way to creating a celebration that does you and your loved one proud.
Thoroughness – Every aspect of your ceremony is carefully planned and organised. Throughout the planning process, I’ll liaise with your Funeral Director and chat with friends and family members, to make sure everything is seemlessly coordinated.
Above and beyond – I really care about giving you and your family the celebration that you hope for. I also love non-traditional elements … so if there’s something unique that you want to build into your ceremony, let me know. What’s important to you, is important to me.
Confidence & Professionalism – I hold a Diploma in celebrancy and am a proud member of The Celebrant Circle and the Association of Independent Celebrants, so you can rest easy, knowing that your ceremony is in safe hands.

Anne was the perfect celebrant for the memorial event for my mother. My brother and I felt completely confident that she would set the right tone of warmth and appreciation. Anne went to great trouble beforehand to communicate with us, discuss our preferences and ensure that everything was just as we wanted. We are sure that our mother would have thoroughly approved! – Linda & Rod
Anne is an absolutely lovely human being and a brilliant celebrant – Sarah & Jonas
