Essential Farewell Package

A personal, heartfelt ceremony without extensive planning meetings—£250

When You Need Something Meaningful, Not Complicated

Some families know exactly what they want. They need a professional, compassionate celebrant who can create a personal ceremony without weeks of planning.

That's what the Essential Farewell Package is for.

This is my core service—a fully personalised ceremony that celebrates your loved one's life, delivered with warmth and care. It includes everything you need for a meaningful farewell, without the complexity of multiple meetings or extensive planning.

What's Included

  • Icon_ver_color
    Initial consultation (in person or online)

    We'll meet to talk about your loved one—who they were, what mattered to them, and what kind of ceremony would feel right. This can be face-to-face at a location that works for you, or via video call if that's easier.

  • Icon_ver_color
    Personalised ceremony writing

    I'll take everything we discuss and create a ceremony that reflects your loved one's life, character and values. This isn't a template—it's written specifically for them, in language that feels authentic and true.

  • Icon_ver_color
    Ceremony delivery (20-30 minutes)

    On the day, I'll deliver the ceremony with a calm, professional presence. You can trust that your loved one's story will be told with respect, warmth and care.

  • Icon_ver_color
    Liaison with funeral directors and venue

    I'll coordinate with your funeral director and the venue to make sure everything runs smoothly. You have enough to think about—I'll handle the logistics.

  • favicon
    Guidance on readings, music and tributes

    Not sure what music to choose? Want to include a reading but don't know where to start? I'll offer suggestions and guidance to help you create a ceremony that feels complete.

  • favicon
    Support before, during and after

    From our first conversation to the day of the ceremony and beyond, I'm here to answer questions and offer support. If you need advice or just want to talk, I'm only a phone call away.

  • favicon
    Keepsake ceremony script

    After the ceremony, you'll receive a beautifully presented copy of the full script. This is yours to keep, share with family, or revisit when you need to feel close to your loved one again.
