Why choose Julie for your funeral?
Your loved ones funeral is a celebration of their life, my aim is to help you celebrate their life in a graceful and respectful way. As a modern celebrant I can also offer advice on other alternative types of funerals and ceremony’s. Funerals don’t have to take place in a crematorium. For those who are looking for something a bit different and who want to buck the trend of the usual traditional funeral, I’d love to explore different options with you.

Thanks So Much, Julie
On behalf of myself, my family and friends, we’d just like to send out a heartfelt thanks to Live Life Love and the wonderful Julie Kemp.
Julie was the celebrant at my father’s funeral and we couldn’t ask for someone more approachable, attentive and caring to carry out the service. Obviously this was a devastating time for us all, but Julie made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. You could really tell that it meant a lot to her to do a great job and really do my dad’s memory justice.
In compiling the ceremony speech with myself and my close family, she listened so carefully and considerately to all we had to say and was very open to including all of the treasured memories we had. The speech featured Julie’s interpretation of our words as well as our own personal words directly, and this worked so well. Julie was also very accommodating in adding all of our changes and additions to the first draft without any issues and carried this out very attentively. She also managed to do all of this very quickly as we had to take into account some family holiday time, and this all helped us so much. The final result was such a lovely speech that really captured my dad’s memory and character so well.
On the day of the funeral itself, Julie was punctual and so warm and caring from the outset. Her delivery of the service was excellent, with our combined words and our own personal words all being shared in a clear and considered manner. I had written a poem myself and she read this in exactly the way I wanted it to be read. She also provided us with a very nice printed copy of the whole speech at the end.
After the funeral we have had so many people tell us what a lovely service it was and really praise the wonderful job that Julie did. I recommend her so highly.
Thanks so much, Julie.
Our perfect wedding ❤️
What can we say- Julie absolutely made our wedding day. From meeting Julie at a wedding fair, we instantly warmed to her. We had not even considered having a celebrant, nor did we even realise this was an alternative to having a registrar as people normally do, but once Julie explained her role and what this would entail, we really liked the sound of how personal and tailored to us our ceremony could be.
Over the next year, we met with Julie on a few occasions, we got to know each other and Julie was really interested in our story, what we loved about each other etc. This was then made into a beautiful ceremony script, perfectly unique to us and made our day even more special. Nothing was too much trouble for Julie- she was happy to tweak parts of the script due to more recent life events when needed. She arrived at the venue and made sure the room was set up exactly how we had asked and even came to visit us and take us along to the ceremony room!
Our guests loved Julie and how personal she made our wedding.
Thank you so much Julie for an amazing experience- we had a blast!
Funeral Perfection
Julie was our funeral celebrant and she was absolutely fabulous. She is a lovely warm person who on her first meeting with our family made us all feel at ease so we could share our precious memories of our recently departed loved one.
The result from our meeting – Julie wrote a beautiful, funny and heartwarming script, delivered flawlessly by Julie at the funeral. A perfect end of life celebration of a life well lived.
Our family recommends Julie without hesitation – you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much Julie x
