Hi, I’m Sam, and I’m here to help you create a ceremony that reflects the essence of your loved one in an authentic and intimate way. With compassion and a deep respect for the uniqueness of every person, I craft services that leave room for laughter, tears, and everything in between.
A celebrant-led funeral ceremony offers a personal, meaningful, and non-religious approach to honouring the life of a loved one. Unlike religious funerals, a celebrant ceremony is completely customizable and reflects the unique personality, values, and life journey of the loved one. Whether the family desires a lighthearted celebration of life or a more reflective and sombre service, a celebrant is there to guide the ceremony with empathy and care.
Whether you’re looking for a traditional farewell or something a little more unconventional, together we’ll design a service that brings comfort, healing, and a sense of connection, ensuring your loved one is celebrated in a way that truly reflects them.
With love and kindness,
Sam Purl-Jones

Key Features of a Celebrant Funeral Ceremony:
1. Personalization and Customization
The ceremony is tailored to reflect the individual’s life, passions, and legacy. From music choices to readings, themes, and rituals, every element is designed to be a true reflection of the loved one.
2. Meaningful Tributes
A celebrant will work with the family and close friends to gather stories, memories, and anecdotes, weaving them into a touching tribute that honours the person’s life and character.
3. Inclusive and Flexible
Celebrants can create ceremonies that are inclusive, welcoming people of all backgrounds, and accommodating specific cultural or social customs. Whether it’s a secular service, a spiritual gathering, or a blend of both, the ceremony is designed to suit the family’s needs.
4. No Religious Requirements
Celebrants are not bound by religious doctrine, offering families the flexibility to choose their preferred rituals, symbols, and spiritual elements—or none at all.
5. Compassionate and Professional Guidance
A professional celebrant offers guidance and support throughout the process, from initial planning to the day of the ceremony. They ensure everything flows smoothly and that the ceremony feels authentic and respectful.
6. Support for the Family
From helping with the choice of music, readings, and eulogies to offering a comforting presence during the ceremony, the celebrant’s role is to support the family in creating a meaningful farewell.
7. Ceremony Structure
A typical celebrant funeral ceremony may include:
- Opening Words: A welcome and introduction, acknowledging the significance of the day.
- Tributes: Personal stories, readings, and reflections from family and friends.
- Music & Rituals: Custom song choices, poems, and any ceremonial rituals such as lighting candles or placing flowers.
- Closing Words: A final reflection or farewell to bring the ceremony to a respectful conclusion.
8. Virtual Options
For families who are unable to gather in person, celebrant services can also be conducted virtually, allowing friends and family from around the world to participate in the ceremony.
