Funeral Poet

in Bradford, Keighley, Shipley, Skipton, Bingley, Settle, and Cleckheaton

Immortalise your loved one in verse.

A personalised poem is one of the best ways to create a keepsake of a loved one after they’re gone.

Infusing the poem with key aspects of their personality helps to keep the memory of them alive.

Poetry is universal, and can be shared with all those who loved and cared for the deceased.

Top tip: Bespoke poetry can ensure that all of your loved one’s traits, including their Bradford roots, are incorporated.

How does the process work?

As a poet specialising in telling the story of a life in verse, I dig deep to make sure it’s just right:

I gather information about your loved one, including any important milestones and anecdotes from their life.
I ask you for your emotions about your loved one, including what you love (and don’t love!) about them.
I write the first few stanzas and send them over to make sure you’re happy with the style.
I send over the first draft and ask you what you think.
I give you unlimited edits of the first draft until it’s absolutely perfect.
I design a fitting background for the poem and print it off so you can frame it.

If this is something you’d like to further explore, get in touch and we can discuss.
