East Sussex Wedding & Funeral Celebrant creating Ceremonies

 “To embark on the journey towards togetherness, requires a 

great partner” 

'Traditional' marriage  doesn’t always fit with everyone’s ideologies;  Civil Partnerships enable you to formalise and recognise your commitment to each other (gaining greater legal and financial security than that offered by living together)....and just like any Celebrant-led ceremony,  your ceremony or service can be whatever you want it to be!

 “When you show up authentically, you create the space for others to do the same. Walk in your truth”  

Life is a transformational journey!  Whether you are overcoming addiction, illness, leaving a painful relationship behind you, or going through a physical transformation - acknowledging who you are now, through a ceremony or with a blessing  that says, “I am me; I am not broken but strengthened by everything I have been though…I am authentic”, is wonderfully inspiring! What can be more empowering than that?!

“Babies make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living” 

Babies are a blessing, part of the fabric of your family and your entire world! and they deserve a proper introduction 

A naming ceremony recognises your baby’s uniqueness and brings with it the declaration of commitment from everyone who is going to be part of your baby’s life, in a wonderfully inclusive heartwarming way!

“Blood doesn’t make family, 

love does”  

Family means you are a part of something wonderful, part of something bigger than yourself...

Chosen (or blended) family ceremonies declare and recognise that your combined family, or the introduction of a new member to it, have made it whole. 

Whatever the reason, it symbolises togetherness and commitment and it’s a beautiful acknowledgement of all that you are to each other.

"Of all the things my eyes have seen, the best by far is you"

Renewal of vows ceremonies, often mark an anniversary, but can also be in recognition of life's challenges that life might have knocked you off course, such as illness or a break in your relationship. Renewal of vows leads on from where your wedding service started, symbolising your enduring or renewed commitment to each other other…all over again!

  "To celebrate  a life well-loved and well-remembered is to place eternity in ones heart"

Celebrations of life allow us to remember our loved ones, in a truly uplifting way,  because - while there may be sadness at the loss of someone we love - celebrations of life and memorials can be bittersweet but wonderful occasions!

...And for the forward thinkers, who want to be part of the action, some people who may be nearing their own life's end want to connect with their loved ones in a celebratory way through a ‘living memorial',  before they start their ethereal journey which can be arranged as part of the ‘living wishes’ process if required.

  “To be relieved of the decision, was to be released from a terrible burden”  

Arranging what you would like to include in your own funeral (readings, music, written words to be read on your behalf etc, charity donations in your memory etc) alleviates the burden from your loved ones and affords you the choice to decide how you want to leave this world, how  you want to be remembered, and can be a wonderfully empowering, liberating and cathartic process!

As a Celebrant, I am able to support you in considering those details, and create a ceremony that includes everything that resonates with you!

 “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s heart and soul remains forever lost”   

The depth of love we feel for our pets, is fathomless, and humanizing; the epitome of having a constant companion, reminding us we have a responsibility to nurture and care for all life.

While pet blessings or funerals do not fill the void left by them, they can pave the way towards moving forward from grief, celebrating the contribution of your 'fur baby' to your world, and no less than your beloved pet deserves.

  "Without sharing in the moments, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens - the sleeper 

must awaken"    

So many life events hold great significance for us and symbolically mark our ‘rites of passage’. 

Whatever the event is that holds meaning for you (whether it’s a sweet 16, leaving for University, graduation, embarking on a major career change, recognising an achievement, or commemorating something else entirely) an independent Celebrant-led ceremony is a lovely way to mark that occasion in a way that is as unique as you are!
