Specialisms

I am happy to conduct religious, spiritual or secular ceremonies as your family may wish.

Hi, I'm David

I will be the right choice as a celebrant for you if you are looking for a simple, meaningful and respectful service that observes the reverence of the occasion. A ceremony that paints a picture of your loved-one, gives space to mourn your loss as well as space to celebrate their life.

What's my ceremony style?

I am a Funeral Celebrant and a Quaker. In a ceremony I could introduce moments for silent reflection. Participants could minister during the silence if they wish to do so. The ceremony could be a mix of structure, with a eulogy and tributes or poems read, and more un-structured moments as described above. The ceremony will be what you want it to be and can be adapted to meet your requirements.

Why choose David?

I specialise in funeral ceremonies as I feel I have something to offer in this space. When people gather together to remember, mourn and celebrate the life of a loved-one, being able to have moments for personal reflection, to gather your thoughts, to be calm and still in certain moments, will enhance the meaning and value of the service to you and to those gathered around you at this time.

David Grove - Simplicity Ceremonies

Funerals

I believe a simple ceremony, with the room for silent reflection as part of the mix, is something I can offer as needed. As a Quaker I do believe there are elements of this way of life that can be of benefit in a funeral service, however, it is your ceremony and this is my focus.

I do not conduct weddings or other ceremonies. I do this as I want to focus on this rather than split my time with other celebrancy services. This is such an important occasion for everyone involved and I want to make sure that each family is listened to and gets the ceremony that they require and deserve.

I am a father and grand-father and have my own share of life experience.

Why choose David for your funeral?

If you are looking for a ceremony that you will feel comfortable with, that suits your needs at this difficult time, that introduces calm and stillness when it is most needed, I would respectfully put myself forward.

Funeral | 09/27/2023 | Sedgemoor Crematorium

I have made a personal choice not to ask for reviews from grieving families.

This ceremony was for a kind, cheerful and devoted husband, dad, grandad and great-grandad. Much loved by his wife and family and the members of the local brass band to which he had been devoted for 70 years. The band played live exit music at the venue.

This funeral was for a much-loved sister who was also a much-loved mother and grand-mother. This ceremony included a hymn, a eulogy from her daughter and a tribute from her brother. There was also silent reflection, a prayer and a Grief Blessing. A special lady.

Funeral | 07/04/2023 | Weston-Super-Mare Crematorium

I have made a personal choice not to ask for reviews from grieving families.

This ceremony was very well attended with people travelling from far and wide to attend. She was a much-loved sister and friend. There was a eulogy, a poetry reading and a tribute from her sister. As she had attended a Quaker boarding school in her early life, silent reflection was also held. Three people chose to minister in the silence which was appreciated by all.
