NOCN Accredited/Qualified✅️

Runner-Up🏅in the 2024 AOIC Awards for the category 'Outstanding Funeral Celebrant'. I am a passionate and dedicated Independent Civil Celebrant based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire - but this need not be a restriction to where I can practice celebrancy. I work very closely with the individuals and families to create bespoke, beautiful and memorable ceremonies to be ch

erished forevermore. I am a member of the Association of Independent Celebrants, a professional body who strive for excellence. Before I trained in civil celebrancy, I had an established and successful teaching career as a secondary Religious Studies teacher as I graduated with a degree in Theology & Education from BG University College in Lincoln. I taught Religious Studies and Philosophy & Ethics for many years, teaching up to A-Level and spent some time as a Head of Department in a local school in Calderdale. In more recent years I have thrived and enjoyed working as a supply teacher in and around Huddersfield, continuing to positively contribute to the growth of young people. This is something I continue to do alongside my work as a Celebrant. My teaching career has brought many honed skills and a whole host of experience to my role as a Celebrant. I am charismatic, approachable and I have you at the very heart of all I do. Some of you might recognise me from driving local bus services in and around the Huddersfield area - I also hold a full bus PSV licence. I am a dynamic character, who will help you create the ceremony of your dreams or one that is incredibly fitting for the occasion in hand. Don't hesitate to get in touch! I would love to talk to you about what you want to achieve. There is no other way!

Feedback like this is certainly never taken for granted.

Service taken for a much-loved lady at Dewsbury Moor Crematorium alongside Becki Stead and the Horbury Road Co-op Funeralcare team on the 31st July.

There were some smiles and giggles coming out of the chapel this morning. We came out to this song, as he was a lifelong Manchester United fan, only to see a line of Leeds United supporters forming for the incoming service. ⚽️ He would have found that amusing.

Thank you to our Funeral Director, Becki Stead and the team supporting Horbury Road Co-op Funeralcare this morning.

91 years. A colourful, loud and bold personality. A Brummie that was mistaken for a Aussie countless times.

A service that captured all of this and more.

I recited a nonsensical poem that he used to recite from memory. It brought a few smiles.

Thank you to our Funeral Director, Craig and the team supporting from Hammerton's.

A true character to have graced their lives. A man who led a life that was lived his way.
