Hi, I'm Carol

After a 40 year enjoyable career in the corporate world, at the beginning of this year (2020) I made a conscious decision to change track. I wanted to harness the experience I have gained working across many sectors, and the skills I have developed working in people, organisation development and Board roles along the way, and put them to good use in a rewarding way. I am an individual of high integrity with a strong sense of social purpose, personal values and ambitions and a passion for everything I do.

I trained with the Institute of Professional Celebrants in April and since then have been establishing myself in the local area and have now conducted a number of funeral ceremonies in Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire. I’ve been bowled over by the amazing feedback I have received which is spurring me on to do lots more.

I am in the process of writing a wedding ceremony for a wedding next year and a naming day and vow renewal ceremony for later this year.

Each ceremony I write is individual, bespoke and personal to the client. It is so important for me that everyone gets a ceremony that reflects their wishes and not my own. Over the years in my corporate career, being flexible and tailoring the messages for the audience has been of paramount importance, and none more so now than in the world of celebrancy.

What's my ceremony style?

Funeral Ceremonies-individual, sensitive and memorable.

Wedding and Vow Renewals-magical ceremonies designed for you

Family Celebrations-special moments in time to cherish

My style is informal and relaxed designed to put people at ease.

Funeral | 05/05/2023 | West Berkshire Crematorium

We would like to thank Carol for such a beautiful and personal send off for our father Ray. At such a painful time, Carol was caring and understanding and even able to bring a smile to our faces with her kind words. Prior to the funeral, she came to our house and took the time to find out who our father was and prepared a lovely, heartfelt speech at his funeral. Thank you so much Carol on behalf of us all.
