Hi, I'm Steve
I’m Steve, I’m not bound by any religion, statute or doctrine. So, I’m free to create and deliver personalised ceremonies embracing your beliefs or non-beliefs. I will help to construct a Celebration of Life, based on the life of the person the ceremony is for – but should you choose to include any religious or spiritual wording, prayers or music, then that is fine too.
You can expect a highly professional, personal and engaging ceremony with lots of excellent ideas and not a bland ‘insert name here’ recital from a script – something which will include as much or as little ritual, symbolism and imagery as you wish.
What's my ceremony style?
Professional, mindful funeral ceremonies in any context, whether that be in a crematorium, a private chapel, a hotel, a woodland or outdoor pavilion, or even in your home.

Why choose Steve?
What you did for us was quite exceptional! Beautifully orchestrated.
You went above & beyond with communicating & liaising with us to ensure our mother’s funeral service went smoothly & was conducted just as we had wished.
There is nothing at all workaday or formulaic about what Steve does. Every service is different, well thought out and very well presented. Our families love him. – Independent Funeral Director

Funerals
In 2003 my wife lost her daughter Katie to Glioblastoma, an aggressive type of cancer that occurs in the brain or spinal cord. She was six years old. It was an incredibly cruel end to a long two-year battle with the disease. We have been gripped by our loss ever since – and have resolved to devote the rest of our lives to helping people who experience loss and grief in whatever circumstances. We’re both fully qualified Counsellors and Grief Specialists.
Since Katie’s death, we have adopted the symbolism of the Dragonfly as a way of reminding ourselves of how special and unique she was. It has since become representative of my work as a Grief Specialist and Funeral Celebrant. And so, the Dragonfly for us represents going beyond what is on the surface and looking into the more profound implications of life. It is a symbol of new beginnings and so, represents hope, change, and love.

When I lost my grandad in October, the funeral directors put me in touch with Steve as I didn’t want a religious service for him. I sat and chatted with steve about what I wanted for my grandad’s final celebration of his life and he listened to everything, made suggestions to how he thought things would work better and on the day of the funeral everything fit into place and it was a beautiful service. he conducted the service with the utmost respect for my grandad and spoke about things that my grandad would be remembered for. steve you are amazing at what you do, from the bottom of my heart – thankyou. you took a lot of pressure off my shoulders and made me feel at ease and for that, I’ll be forever grateful
Thank you
Hi Steve,
we would like to express our gratitude for your support last Thursday.
In these challenging times, we simply did not know what to expect but the service was wonderful, personal and so warm.
Speaking after a lot of people said that was the funeral they wanted for themselves in the future.
Thank you so much for everything, you did Cliff proud!
Be safe
