We can celebrate the unique life and character of your loved one with a beautiful and uplifting ceremony created just for them. Together we can ensure their story sparkles in a loving celebration full of warmth.
Or we can plan your own final farewell so we tell your story your way
and your life is beautifully remembered – just the way you want.
Wondering how to give your loved one a funeral or celebration of life that’s perfect for them? Let me help. Let me relieve the burden and do the hard work for you. We will work together so I get to know your loved one and you. Then we can make sure their ceremony captures their unique character and spirit.
Whether they should be remembered with down to earth words and humour or with poignant poetry and dignified language, or a blend in between, I have the experience to craft their ceremony and deliver it with warmth.
There are no limits and no rules on how we can celebrate someone’s precious life. Together we can find the best way to share those special memories. We can dare to do it differently or be completely traditional; we can keep it simple or include extra special moments – your choice!
Even better, you might want to take control of your own funeral or celebration of life ahead of time. We can plan it together so whenever the day comes, the most important story yet to be told – your own – is authentically yours and your life is beautifully remembered and celebrated.

A celebrant creates and delivers unique ceremonies designed to celebrate any meaningful life milestone, I specialise in funerals, celebrations of life, ashes scattering and interments.
I provide an alternative to the traditional funeral led by a priest or other religious figure.
I don’t just write the tribute (eulogy), I create and lead the whole service weaving together all the elements you want. In fact, I might not write the tribute at all if you choose to write it yourself. Or I can help you to write your own if you struggle to find the right words.
As an independent funeral celebrant, I can work with you to create the perfect service for your loved one or for you – without limits. The ceremony will be unique – written just for them or you.
By working with me, you have complete freedom: your service may be completely without any reference to religion, or it can have special or spiritual elements; alternatively, it might be fully religious.
(A humanist celebrant has to follow the Humanist Society code for funerals. A vicar or other religious person has to follow their particular service or rituals.)
I have a rich experience having delivered many funerals and memorial services and leading and supporting others through traumatic and difficult times. I am a member of the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants and trained by one of the first independent celebrants in the country – Terri Negus. I provide fully bespoke funeral and celebration of life services. See my Who am I page for more information.
I am a funeral celebrant in South Yorkshire; I live in a village a few miles south of the city of Doncaster, but can easily reach wider areas:
I am also happy to discuss travelling further if you want my services. (I’m afraid I have to make a mileage charge when I go above 20 miles from home.)
“Beka was amazing; she hit the tone of the service perfectly, her words were put together perfectly and were very fitting for dad’s funeral. ”
“We were fortunate enough to have Beka as the celebrant at my mum’s funeral. The service she gave was just right. It was as though she knew mum. The story she told was not only articulate, but Beka managed to weave a little bit of magic into mum’s tribute too.”
“Beka was the best person to be celebrant at my father’s funeral. She spent time getting to know my dad and was able to listen and understand our family. She was compassionate, interested, professional and has a great sense of humour. She made all the hard parts easy.”
Direct cremation solves a significant financial burden for families. Not to be sniffed at when so many other costs are soaring, and families are struggling now more than ever. There are other reasons why you
Burial or cremation? Do you want to be planted into the earth or cremated into the wind and spread wherever you desire? This was a debate dad and I had in his last seven weeks
