FUNERALS & MEMORIALS
Cambridgeshire, Suffolk & Norfolk
Honouring Lives, Celebrating Legacies
A meaningful funeral is more than a ceremony—it’s a celebration of a life well-lived, a collective farewell, and a step toward healing. I’m here to help you create a heartfelt, personalised service that reflects the essence, values, and legacy of your loved one.
Compassionate Guidance for Life’s Most Difficult Moments
Funerals are an integral part of our lives. They allow us to come together, acknowledge our loss, and celebrate the life of someone we love. While there may be tears, there can also be laughter, reflection, and gratitude for how our world is better for having contained the life of the person gone.
As a funeral celebrant, I specialise in creating ceremonies that honour individuality while providing a safe, respectful, and inclusive space for families of all beliefs, cultures, and customs.
My Approach Is Rooted In:
Empathy: I listen deeply to your stories and wishes, holding space for your emotions with genuine care.
Compassion: I approach every family and situation with kindness and understanding, ensuring you feel supported and cared for as we navigate this challenging time together.
Personalisation: Every ceremony is uniquely created to reflect your loved one’s life and legacy, ensuring the farewell feels authentic and true.
Grounding Presence: I bring calm and reassurance to guide you through this emotional time, helping you feel supported every step of the way.
A funeral is not just about saying goodbye—it’s about celebrating a life, acknowledging the impact they’ve had, and finding comfort in shared memories. I offer a range of services to ensure every aspect of the ceremony is handled with care:
Personalised Ceremonies: Religious, non-religious, or semi-religious services tailored to your family’s wishes.
Eulogy Writing: I craft a heartfelt eulogy that captures the essence of your loved one’s life.
Music and Readings: Guidance in selecting meaningful poems, hymns, or songs.
Commemorative Keepsakes: A beautifully presented copy of the ceremony, including readings and blessings, for you to cherish.

Family Meeting: We’ll meet in person at your home or at a location of your choice to discuss your wishes, your loved one’s life, and ceremony details.
Ceremony Planning: I’ll guide you through music, readings, and other elements to create a meaningful service.

KIND WORDS
-
Stephanie’s guidance and support throughout the process of creating a ceremony were wonderful. Her offerings of ideas, poem suggestions, and ceremony structure were perfect. Especially at a time when my head was a blur with emotion. The ceremony itself was perfect and more beautiful and meaningful than I could ever have imagined.

Stephanie is the real deal – she walks her talk and very much embodies all that she teaches. She is authentic and caring and an incredibly powerful listener. You would be in very good hands if you chose to work with Stephanie.

Stephanie is such a beautiful, gentle and calm soul. She has supported me through times of intense life transitions, the journey to becoming a mother, navigating motherhood and embracing my unique power and connectedness with the world in a profound spiritual and natural way.

Hello, I’m Stephanie
a funeral celebrant, grief coach, and ceremonialist with over 20 years of experience in creating nurturing and healing environments. My work is rooted in compassion, creativity, and connection. I’m here to guide you through this difficult time with warmth, empathy, and a calming, grounding presence.
I live on a wide-beam canal boat in Cambridgeshire, drawing inspiration from the rhythms of nature and the cycles of life. This connection to the natural world helps me create ceremonies that feel genuine and healing, honouring your loved one’s unique story.
To me, a funeral is so much more than a goodbye—it is a collective farewell, a moment to celebrate a life, and a vital step toward healing. I am inspired by ancient wisdom traditions that recognised the transformative power of coming together in community to witness life’s significant moments. Even today, when we often face grief in isolation, I believe that honouring and remembering in the company of others transforms loss into something sacred and meaningful.
It would be my honour to help you create a funeral ceremony that brings comfort, connection, and meaning to this deeply important time.
