Funerals and Memorial Services in Dundee, Angus and beyond
Celebrate a life well-lived with a funeral or memorial service that feels personal, compassionate, and true. I’ll help you create a tribute that honours your loved one’s memory and brings comfort to those left behind - whether it's quiet and simple, full of laughter and stories, or something in between.
How Can I Support You
When someone close to you dies, it can be hard to know where to begin. That's where I come in - to gently guide you through the planning and delivery of a ceremony that feels right for your person, in a way that honours their life, values, and character.
If you choose me as your celebrant, you'll receive a bespoke, professionally written service that tells their story with authenticity, warmth and respect.
Every funeral I lead is shaped around your wishes. I can help you choose meaningful readings, songs, poems or prayers - or we can create a ceremony with no religious content at all. The service can be led entirely by me, or I can support family and friends who would like to take part.

A practical guide for families, with tips on what to look for and why your choice matters.
Working With Funeral Directors
If you haven't contacted me directly, it's likely your funeral director will reach out on your behalf. Once I receive the details, I'll arrange a meeting with you.
This usually happens in your home - but if you'd prefer, we can meet somewhere that feels more comfortable for you: a quiet cafe, community space, service room or another location of your choice.

Our meeting
Often this includes close family and friends. If someone can't attend, they're welcome to share memories or reflections by email. Just let me know in advance so I can include their words.
You don't need to prepare anything formal. But it can help to reflect on stories, quirks, habits, or sayings - anything that brings your person to life. I understand this is a tender time, and I'll approach our conversation with care, patience, and respect.
What We'll Talk About
The aim of our meeting is to understand who your loved one truly was - beyond just dates and milestones.
You might tell me about:
Their passions and hobbies
Favourite places or songs
Memorable holidays
Their sense of humour
What made them laugh
Their work, habits, or even routines that held meaning
Everything you share helps me craft a ceremony that feels real, personal, and heartfelt - something that honours their life and brings comfort to those who gather to remember them.
At the meeting, we'll also go through the practical elements - music choices, hymns or songs that hold meaning, readings or poems, and who may wish to speak or take part.
Together, we'll shape a service that feels true to your loved one, and to the people who gather to remember them.
On the day of the service, I'll arrive in good time to greet you at the venue and deliver the ceremony with calm, professionalism, and dignity.
Scattering of Ashes or Follow-Up Services
If you're loved one has chosen cremation, you may wish to scatter their ashes at a meaningful location or lay them to rest in a family plot at a later date.
I can offer a short, personalised ceremony for this, offered at a fixed fee of £70 - covering preparation, service delivery, and all travel within 30 miles of Tayside.
If you'd like to include this in your plans, just get in touch directly to arrange it.
