Federation of Professional Celebrants - Winner Most Supportive Celebrant 2024

Creating beautiful, bespoke funeral ceremonies across Somerset, North Somerset and Bristol

As an Independent Funeral Celebrant I will be with you every step of the way - from start to finish - to explore the options, to discuss and plan your loved one's Service. And to create and deliver the ceremony in accordance with your wishes, and those of your loved one.

'You are supportive - to all the families you look after, to us at Sedgemoor Crematorium, as well as Funeral Directors far and wide, and many other Celebrants. We are lucky to work alongside you.'

‘Thank you for the most perfect service you gave today for my husband. You managed to capture the real essence of him, and it was the most moving, fitting tribute. I have received lots of messages mentioning how wonderful they thought you were.‘

‘Sincere thanks and love from all the family for making the day very special. It was a lovely and moving service with lots of memories, bringing both laughter and tears.‘

About Beverley

I am a trained and certified Funeral Celebrant and a member of the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants. I am mum to three grown up children and have three grandchildren. I live on the Somerset Coast and love walking the dog on the beach.

Prior to having my children I was a Police Officer. Until I became a Celebrant I had worked in the voluntary sector across Somerset and Bristol for 22 years, as a volunteer, frontline worker and manager, supporting individuals and families through difficult times in their lives. So when the opportunity arose to train as a Celebrant I knew it was right for me. I had attended several Celebrant led ceremonies and really appreciated how personalised and uplifting these services were.

I am also available for weddings, vow renewals and naming ceremonies.
