"I have yet to live without you
Perhaps I never will
Perhaps the key to grief is
You are always with me still"

Honouring the Life of Your Loved One
Inspired by my journey through loss, the path of becoming a funeral celebrant was not so much
a career but a calling.
​
I am passionate about providing support and compassion during what can be a challenging time,
and it is a privilege to help people commemorate their loved ones at the end of their life journey.
I will work with you to create an individual and meaningful service that captures their life and comforts those who knew them.
​
My name is Katie. I am a fully insured and qualified Funeral Celebrant with a
NOCN Level 3 Diploma in Funeral Celebrancy.
​
I am also honoured to be an Ambassador for the Road Victims Trust,
a charity based in Bedfordshire (covering Herts, Beds and Cambs) which is dedicated to supporting people who have been affected by the grief and trauma of a road death or a serious injury or
life-changing injury collisions.

As every life is unique, then every service should be, too.
​
I love learning about people and creating a funeral where everyone in the room will recognise the departed soul
on some level.
​
When I conduct a ceremony, I bring passion, warmth, openness, calmness, and, when appropriate, humour to the service.
​
Every person is an individual; your loved one deserves to be honoured in a way that genuinely reflects
who they were.

My Services
Funeral Service
I offer personalised funeral services, whether burial, cremation, woodland burial or any other farewell you wish. This includes meeting with you to create a service that captures the essence of your loved one through music, poetry, visual tributes, readings and, if required, symbolic acts.
Memorial Service
This is an organised event with a pre-arranged programme of activities, including readings, music and speeches from the departed's loved ones. Unlike a traditional funeral, there are no time constraints; it can occur anytime and anywhere, there are no limits on what can be included and it often has a more celebratory, informal and relaxed feel.
​
Scattering of Ashes
A ceremony to scatter ashes can be incredibly moving, especially if you choose a place that you love or which brings back memories of the person who has died. I can help you focus on participating in the ceremony, whilst being reassured that all the practical arrangements are in hand.
​
​
I will work with you to ensure whatever vision you have, we create a memorable and lasting tribute to your loved one.

Kind Words
"Katie is so natural. She delivered a heartfelt ceremony with kindness, compassion, and empathy.
She made a difficult time so much easier to bear and captured the essence of our Dad " - Amy
"Thank you again for your sensitive, professional manner in conducting the service for my aunt . This was an opinion we all shared when we met after the service." - Roger
"Hi Katie, Just a note to say thank you for the lovely service you gave yesterday for my mum". - David
"I had never used a celebrant before, and Katie was both personal and professional in her service. She really took the time to learn about our Mum. The Zoom chat with all the family was really appreciated, and Katie also being on hand by email very readily too. Katie helped to construct the service into a very appropriate mix of tribute, song, poem and prayer with time to reflect. Thank you once again, from all the family, who praised the service you gave" - Fliss
