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. A ceremony can be held at a time and place of your choosing even after a Direct Cremation.

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. A ceremony can also be held after a Direct Cremation at a time and place of your choosing.

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.

A loving father, grandfather and brother with a passion for gardening and his allotment. A highly-skilled carpenter. He loved nature and his pet dogs. The ceremony was very well attended and included two hymns and a visual tribute accompanied by the music of Jim Reeves. He leaves behind many family and friends.

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

A mother, grandmother and great-grandmother with a spiritual leaning. Someone who her family could depend on, always.
Her beliefs encompassed an after-life and she is at peace.
