Thank you so much for your massive contribution to Derek’s Memorial – you were super, allowing it to proceed seamlessly and on oiled wheels.
Many people mentioned that they hadn’t known about celebrants & thought it was a terrific idea and I made sure they took a pamphlet with them.
It was a lovely afternoon,
All who attended said they had enjoyed the afternoon, some saying rather guiltily that perhaps that was the wrong thing to say about a memorial, when someone so dear, to so many people had died.
However, I was delighted, it went as well as I expected & apart from the delay, even better, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making even more special memories I can hold in my heart about my naughty, but beloved Derek.

Bernice Benton (Berni), The Alternative Celebrant, is based in Llanwrtyd Wells, Powys, Mid Wales … "We all reach junctions along our life’s winding road, that need marking with a celebration; a time of reflection; or some form of commemoration. As an “Alternative Celebrant”, I aim to help you punctuate your life story by guiding you to create an event that is as unique as you are. I believe we are all ordinarily extraordinary. I specialise in Intimate Alternative Celebrations of Love and Unity, and Memorials that help express yours and your loved ones’ own personalities. I would love to help you celebrate, commemorate, or find solace with or for a person, pet or occasion in your life. Alongside those ‘traditional’ chapter changes in our lives: Marriages, Births, Deaths; there are so many more occasions that cause for a breather, a moment of reflection and a bit of time to celebrate. At every crossroads in our journey we should take time to reflect, celebrate or commemorate. I can help facilitate this; whatever the occasion. There Are No Rules."Alongside being a Celebrant, Berni is also a Guesthouse owner, Stained Glass Artist, Gardener and Lady Lily The Pink of The Official Monster Raving Loony Party.
