  • 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.
