What services do you provide?
I provide a range of professional funeral services including the creation and delivery of non-religious and humanist funerals. I can also offer Memorial Services, Ash Scattering ceremonies and Interment services. The services are always tailored to the personal preferences and requirements of the deceased and their loved ones
How can I contact you?
Please call me on 07359 794676, email claire@thecelebrantservices or complete the contact form. I will be happy to provide you with further information and assist you in arranging a funeral service that celebrates the life of your loved one
What qualifications do you have?
I trained with Civil Ceremonies Ltd, a leading Ofqual registered training provider. I achieved a Level 3 Diploma in Funeral Celebrancy. I am a member of the Institute of Civil Funerals, who provide full professional insurance, and monitors celebrants work. As a previous teacher and administrator I have all the experience needed to provide a well-written and delivered service.
How does the process work?
Your Funeral Director may recommend me, or you can contact me directly. Either way, I will arrange an initial visit with those friends and family who wish to be involved in the creation of the service. I will chat to you about the life of your loved one, to create a truly individual tribute that accurately reflects the person they were. I can advise you on choices of music and poetry if you would like these to be included. The service will be tailored to your exact wished. I will provide a draft script for you to check over, which can be amended until you are happy. After the service, I will give you a beautiful Presentation Script for you to keep.
Can the family deliver the service?
Yes of course. I am happy to write and create the service for you and be involved as much or as little as you require.
Where will we meet?
The choice is yours. I am happy to come to your home, or we could meet at the Funeral Directors’ office. I would not recommend public places though, due to the sensitive nature of the discussion.
How far will you travel to a venue?
I would travel up to an hour if the family wanted a ceremony in a particularly special place. My fees include travel within a 20-mile radius of Kettering. Any further will be charged at 45p per mile.
