Hi, I'm David
Funerals are not easy events. I recognise and acknowledge the feelings you may feel at a time you lose a loved one and yet need to plan a fitting funeral for them. I endeavour to support you by working alongside you.
I will help you to create a funeral ceremony (or memorial service) that is unique; reflecting the personality and life of your loved one whilst also recognising your grief. With your loved one and your wishes at the heart of what we do, I will: * Plan an appropriate ceremony with you * Provide you with a draft programme of the ceremony for your approval * If you wish me to, as a ‘narrator of your loved ones life’ I will compose a fitting tribute (approved by you) to read at the ceremony or support you to write your own. * Provide you with copies of the ceremony afterward * Provide follow up support if needed.
What's my ceremony style?
Ceremonies are person centred and led with total respect for your loved one and yourselves.
Do read my reviews to see how I work and do not hesitate to make contact to discuss your requirements as and when you feel you are able.

Saying Farewell to Our Baby Girl
Hey David We just wanted to send you a message just to say thank you so much for yesterday!! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to do the service for our little princess,. Everyone said how amazing her service was and how amazing you were. You did our girl proud, so thank you so much for making yesterday that little bit bearable 💗💗 xx
Wow! Makaton! Collaboration!
Family Member
‘Wow, David, can’t thank you enough for your wonderful tribute to X
All the guests were touched by the service. They were all saying the same thing; that they were impressed at how the many aspects of her life had been brought together in a personal, humorous, way.
Another Family Member
Thank you David. I think was a triumph.
Your use of Makaton (signing) when we said goodbye at the end made several people cry!
The Minister who paid tribute as part of the Eulogy and led Prayers
Hello David, I found our collaboration really positive and appreciated your crafting of the service. Loved the Makaton Farewell to X. I felt the whole service was very much how X would have liked it to be.
Natural Ability
We’d like to thank you so much David, for making this difficult time that much easier for us and the family. Your natural ability to deliver the service in such a heartwarming way is something you should be extremely proud of.
