“Well! says Anna, I am certainly not a vicar! I am though full qualified to perform both funeral and wedding ceremonies, I am independent and usually employed by a funeral director or a wedding planner on behalf of a family or a couple but, you can also contact me directly. Many more people us a celebrant these days, it’s a way of reflecting their true wishes, I can offer non-religious services as well as services with prayers and spiritual themes, essentially every ceremony I write is bespoke and its always written with the utmost care and love, something that really matters to me.”

“According to The Good Funeral Guide, a celebrant is expected to be a good listener, a good writer, and a good performer. This is a rare combination but, I really believe I have these skills in spades, because of the 3 decades I spent in broadcasting.” Says Anna who also specializes in baby naming and vow renewals.  “To be honest, it’s possible to have a ceremony for anything these days, some people even have them to bless their new home or business”

Anna goes on “Essentially, if you’re looking for someone to write and deliver a non-religious or semi-religious funeral, wedding, or baby naming ceremony a celebrant is almost always your best choice. When it comes to choosing one, you’re best off looking for someone who shares your values and is demonstrably good at their job. They should be your representative on the day. In short, you’re looking for ‘your kind of person’. This new career I hope will become the most fulfilling and uplifting thing I have ever done, and I hope it will continue for many years to come”
