Dignified funerals, commemorated with honesty,
warmth, affection and attention to detail.
Most funeral ceremonies offer a period of quiet reflection for private memories,
prayers or moments of gratitude.
Diana will work with you during your life, or with your family, to design a personalised ceremony to reflect the individual's personal religious or non-religious beliefs and wishes and which will be both comforting and uplifting to your mourners.

Services

Cremations

Diana’s ceremonies are personal, positive, uplifting and embrace each member of the family.

Interment of Ashes

Diana has carried out interment of ashes ceremonies at beautiful woodland burial grounds, with a ceremony at the graveside.

Graveside Burials

The graveside burial will usually be preceded by a short service either in a Church or chapel within the burial ground.

Funeral Planning

As your Funeral Celebrant, Diana believes it is vital that the service is conducted as you would wish, and with compassion and comfort.
  • About Diana

    As an independent funeral celebrant, Diana can help you plan the funeral that is the most appropriate and meaningful ceremony for your loved one. Giving you the freedom to move from the traditional funeral ceremony, Diana welcomes the inclusion of religious non-religious or spiritual content from any faith. The funeral ceremony can be held in a variety of locations including chapels and outdoor spaces. Some hotels now offer to hold the funeral service and wake, adding comfort and convenience to a dignified and seamless farewell under one roof.
