“Tailored Ceremonies for Every Life Moment”

Whether you're planning ahead or 
facing loss, your ceremony should
 reflect what matters most - your 
values, your story, and your person. 

With care, compassion, and 
understanding, I'll help you shape a 
moment of meaning that truly honours life.

Funerals, Ashes Scatterings, Memorials and End of Life Ceremonies

At the time of of a loved one's passing, it can be hard to think clearly - especially when decisions about a ceremony need to be made. Some families wish for a joyful celebration of life; others seek a quieter, more reflective space to honour loss and memory.

This is where a Celebrant can help. I'll meet with you, to gently explore your wishes, and -  where possible - those of the person who has passed. From there I'll craft a  ceremony that brings all the right elements together in a way that feels respectful, meaningful, and right for everyone involved.

Whether you're planning a full burial with a graveside blessing, a crematorium service, or a scattering of ashes at a later time, each ceremony is created with care and shaped to reflect your values, beliefs, and needs. 

This can be in a special or meaningful place and a time of closeness for friends and family members, with appropriate words to allow for the healing process to begin.

Memorial Ceremonies may happen weeks or even months after a passing - allowing time for people to gather, reflect, and celebrate a life lived. These too are built with the same compassion and close collaboration, ensuring every detail feels personal and considered.

Sometimes, individuals nearing the end of life feel a strong desire to plan their own funeral - or simply talk to someone - outside their family - about what lies ahead.

As an end-of -life guide, I offer a space to be heard. I visit, listen, and support planning in a way that can be cathartic for the person and comforting for those they leave behind.

Together, we make sure their wishes are honoured - and that those who love them are supported, too.

Not everyone reaches the end of life surrounded by family or friends. Some may be isolated, estranged from loved ones, or living in circumstances where support is limited.

Whatever the situation, I believe every person deserves dignity, compassion, and to have their voice heard.

When someone doesn't have others to speak for them. I' offer a calm and respectful space to listen, plan, and ensure their final wishes are known - so that even in solitude, they are not forgotten.
What is a Funeral Celebrant?
A funeral celebrant creates and leads ceremonies that reflect the life, values, and personality of the person who has passed - with warmth, compassion, and care.

If you're looking for a service that puts your loved one at the heart of the story, you're in the right place. I work with families who want something personal and meaningful - whether that's completely non-religious, lightly spiritual, or gently reflective.

My focus is always on the person - their character,relationships, achievements, and the things they loved. Each ceremony is thoughfully written, entirely bespoke, and designed to feel right for those left behind.

It's a human-centred-approach - ideal for those who want to move away from the generic and honour a life in a truly individual way.
Beautiful. Serene. Peaceful.  Ever- changing with the seasons.
These are just a few of the words that come to mind when describing Cairnbrae - a truly special place.

Its an oasis of nature and tranquility,offering a final resting place that honours both the individual and the landscape. Whether  for you or a loved one, Cairnbrae offers space to reflect, connect, and return gently to the earth.

Thank-you Julie for showing me around - what an incredible and meaningful setting.
