Ceremonies and fees
Every ceremony begins with listening.
Whether you are arranging a funeral, remembering someone at a later date or gathering for a smaller farewell, I will work with you to create words and moments that reflect the person at the heart of your ceremony.
My fees cover my celebrant work: planning, writing and leading your ceremony. We will discuss the arrangements and agree the total fee before you book.
Funeral ceremonies
£244
A personal funeral ceremony, created with care around the life, character and relationships of the person you are remembering.
Whether you prefer a quiet, reflective farewell, a celebration of their life or a combination of both, I will help you shape a ceremony that feels right for you.
What is included
An initial conversation and a family meeting, in person or online.
Time to listen to your memories, stories and wishes.
Writing a personalised ceremony and eulogy.
Guidance with readings, poetry, music and personal touches.
Support for family and friends who would like to contribute.
Sharing the draft with you and making agreed revisions.
Liaison with your funeral director about the ceremony arrangements.
Leading the ceremony on the day.
A printed keepsake copy of the ceremony script, with a digital PDF copy available on request.
Travel within a 20-mile radius of my Liverpool base.
Funerals involving separate locations or additional ceremonies will be discussed in advance so that the arrangements and any additional fees are clear.
I am available for evening and weekend funeral services.
Funerals for babies, children and young people
I do not charge a celebrant fee for the funeral of a baby, child or young person under 18.
I will work with the family and funeral director to create a gentle, personal ceremony that honours their life and the love surrounding them.
This applies to my celebrant fee only; other funeral costs are separate.
Remembrance and planning
Memorials and celebrations of life
From £250
A memorial ceremony offers time to gather, share memories and honour someone’s life separately from their funeral.
It may follow a direct cremation, take place at a later date or bring together people who could not attend the original farewell.
I will help you create a personal ceremony with stories, readings, music and contributions from family and friends. We will agree its length, location and arrangements before confirming the fee.
Scattering of ashes
From £100
A smaller ceremony to accompany the scattering of ashes, with thoughtful words and time for remembrance.
Together, we can include a reading, shared memories or a moment of quiet reflection in a place that holds meaning for you.
We will discuss the location and practical arrangements before confirming the ceremony.
Interment of ashes
From £100
A personal ceremony to accompany the burial of ashes.
This can be a simple gathering with a few carefully chosen words, or a farewell incorporating readings and contributions from those attending.
I will work with you and the relevant venue or funeral director to agree the arrangements.
Planning your own farewell
Fee agreed according to your needs
You may wish to record your preferences for a future funeral or memorial ceremony.
I offer a conversation about the stories, people, beliefs, readings and music you would like reflected, followed by a written summary of your ceremony wishes.
This is a ceremony-planning service, not a prepaid funeral plan. Writing and conducting the eventual ceremony are separate services.
Living funerals
From £250
A ceremony to honour and celebrate your life while you are here to share it.
Sometimes called a living celebration of life, this offers an opportunity to gather with the people important to you, share memories and say the things you would like to say.
I will work with you to create a ceremony that reflects your wishes, with stories, readings, music and contributions from those you choose to involve. The tone and arrangements will be guided by you.
We will discuss the preparation and ceremony arrangements before agreeing the fee.
Pet farewells and memorials
From £100
A pet farewell or memorial offers a way to honour the relationship you shared with your beloved animal friend, share memories and say goodbye in words that feel right for you.
Ceremonies can be simple and intimate, with readings, personal stories and opportunities for those attending to take part.
Practical information
Travel and other costs
Travel within a 20-mile radius of my Liverpool base is included in the listed ceremony fees.
For locations beyond that area, any additional travel charge will be discussed and agreed before booking.
The fees shown are for my celebrant services. Funeral director charges, venue fees, cremation or burial costs, and separately purchased services are not included.
For services listed as “from,” I will provide a quotation based on the preparation, ceremony length, location and arrangements you need.
Begin with what matters to you
You do not need to have everything decided. We can begin with what matters to you—the person, relationship or occasion you wish to honour—and explore the kind of ceremony that feels right.
Get in touch for an informal, no-obligation conversation about your wishes and the arrangements.
