“I shall always be grateful for your support, expertise and kindness over this entire period. All the hours you put into the ceremony. Your care and attention to detail. All your hard work resulted in a beautiful culmination of the complex person that my husband was …there really are not the words for me to express adequately how grateful I am.”

If you would like me to help you to plan, write and deliver a life celebration, memorial or living funeral ceremony for you or your loved one, then it would be my honour and privilege to work with you.

If you are planning a ceremony to honour a loved one you are grieving for then I will take the time to get to know you and to find out everything that I can about the person being honoured. I can help you create a ceremony that you feel proud of and that truly does them justice: a ceremony that entirely reflects their personality, the life they led, the choices they made and the challenges they faced, the joys they experienced and that celebrates all the important elements that made them who they were.

Onie beautifully captured the family’s memories of our father and presented them at his memorial service with a wonderful warmth, dignity and compassion. We were very pleased with the service Onie provided.”

If you are nearing the end of your life and are looking for someone thoughtful, calm and light of heart to help you plan your living funeral, life celebration or memorial gathering then it would be my privilege to support you.

The ceremony would be exactly as you wish it to be. An Agnostic Scotland ceremony is one that is inclusive, open-minded and reflects the beliefs and values of those involved. All words, music, symbolic elements and rituals are entirely your choice.

I do my very best to ensure that the ceremony we create gives you the opportunity to say everything you wish to say and do everything you wish to do in order to truly pay tribute to and celebrate the life of the person who is being honoured.

My fee includes all planning meetings, liaising with family and friends, being fully present on the day (I only book one ceremony a day so I can be there for you for as long as you wish), holding space for you all and delivering a beautiful ceremony, as per your wishes. I also plant a tree in our beautiful grove in Glen Affric in memory of you or the person you are grieving. If you wish, I can print a bound copy of the ceremony for you or your family’s memories.

Due to the nature of my work-life commitments, I am only able to plan memorial or life celebration ceremonies that are at least a month into the future. For this reason, the focus of my funeral support is memorial celebrations, living funerals, and end of life funeral planning. I am unable to support the planning of short-notice funerals.

If you or your family are looking for support to create an authentic, beautiful and unique memorial ceremony for you or the person whose loss you are grieving, it would be my honour to chat with you.

Due to the time and dedication involved in planning ceremonies that honour a life, my fees range from £650-750 plus travel.

If you are seeking a celebrant for a more traditional funeral (which by their nature are more time-sensitive) or if I am unavailable on the date you are wishing to hold your living funeral or your loved one’s memorial ceremony then I would gladly put you in touch with one of my wonderful colleagues at Agnostic Scotland.

Please do get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you.
