Funerals

When you have lost a loved one, deciding who will speak those final words as you say goodbye is such a huge choice to make. You want to make sure they will be the right words that sum up your special person and capture the very essence of them.

When you put your trust in me as your celebrant, my commitment will be beyond just officiating a ceremony.

I will listen, learn and honour all that is unique about your loved one and their life lived.
We will share conversations, remember the funny moments, talk out about their quirks, hobbies, interests and passions and together we will weave that into a script that captures and celebrates them perfectly.

I take great pride in crafting unique ceremonies that celebrate life and provide a sense of closure. Whether you prefer a traditional funeral service, a non-religious ceremony, or something more alternative, I am here to accommodate your wishes.

During the planning process, I’ll meet with you as many times as required and take the time to learn about the life of your loved one – their passions, accomplishments, and the relationships they cherished. This knowledge allows me to weave together a heartfelt tribute that truly reflects the individual they were.

I will support you with choosing readings, music, poetry and any other creative elements.
I can write the eulogy or support you or family members with eulogy writing.
I will work with your funeral director and other suppliers.

Deb was incredible throughout the whole process of planning the wedding until the big day. She created the most amazing and personalised script for our ceremony as well as being available throughout to help with writing our vows and offer advice.
There were so many additional small touches she provided to make everything so special. I could not recommend her enough for any special event that you are planning!

Wedding | 08/08/2024 | Layer Marney Towers

We had Deb as our celebrant at Layer Marney Towers in August. We were so incredibly lucky to have her. Our ceremony was romantic and had all the guests in tears. Everyone mentioned how they preferred our ceremony to any other kind of church or civil ceremony they had been to. It was personal and it was about us and our love. I would 100% recommend Deb Reed for any celebrant led ceremony and if I could do it again, I wouldn’t change a thing!
