Planning a celebration of life for a loved one?
Craft a truly inspiring and unique goodbye that reflects their character in every aspect of the ceremony.
From the transport, to the content, to the venue itself; move beyond traditional approaches and shape a farewell they deserve.
Honour the amazing memories and lessons that your loved one has left behind.
Let’s create a beautiful and memorable experience for your loved one together.
Top tip: Funerals don’t need to be held in a church, crematorium, or burial ground – why not at Funny Girls?
As your funeral celebrant, my services include (but are not limited to!):
A face-to-face meeting with the bereaved family for as long as it takes.
A fully personalised ceremony which reflects the character of the deceased.
A hand-written eulogy highlighting the key moments of the person’s life.
Reading and poetry suggestions which mirror the person’s life.
Constant contact during all the key planning stages.
Unlimited number of edits and changes to the ceremony and eulogy.
Early arrival on the day to set up and problem-solve.
Professional and confident delivery of the ceremony.
An electronic copy of the ceremony for anyone who would like one.
Liaison with the venue, FD, and other suppliers if required.
If this is something you need right now, don’t hesitate to get in touch with me.
Blackpool is a town that knows how to put on a show — but behind the illuminations and the seafront, it’s a community with real heart, and families here want a farewell that reflects that. A ceremony that’s genuine, personal, and worthy of the person being remembered.
As a funeral celebrant serving the Blackpool area – including Lytham St Annes, Fleetwood, Cleveleys, and the Fylde Coast – I work with families to create ceremonies that feel entirely right for their loved one, regardless of faith, background, or tradition.
And if you’d like something a little different, Blackpool has no shortage of distinctive settings for a celebration of life. The Winter Gardens, a favourite seafront spot, or somewhere that simply meant something to the person you’ve lost — a ceremony doesn’t have to follow a prescribed format or take place in a prescribed building. It just has to feel right.
Whatever that looks like for your family — I’m here to help you make it happen.
With over five years of professionalism within the wedding and funeral industries,
and over twenty years of performing experience, I know what makes an event work.
I can ensure that YOUR funeral is tailored to YOU, and led with confidence and gravitas.
