Celebrant Marc Lemezma - Funeral & LIfe Celebrant

Artist of the Farewell | Crafting meaningful ceremonies for all of life's moments, from joyous hellos to poignant goodbyes.

Award-winning Independent Funeral Celebrant, covering Kent, East Sussex and South East London. Celebrating the life of your loved one is at the heart of everything I do. My job is to work with you to plan a unique tribute that truly reflects their life, character, and values. Some services include poems, readings, and prayers; Some may have little or no spiritual content or be peaceful and reflect

ive. Some funerals may have a specific theme. Yet others may be lighter in tone and humorous with a healthy irreverence. Writing and delivering words that move, inspire, motivate and even entertain whilst bringing comfort has been my life for over 20 years. In 2000, following a globetrotting career in IT, I began a new life writing, performing, speaking and coaching others. Since then, I have written and published eight books; helped hundreds of people through counselling and therapy; spoken at events worldwide; entertained and motivated thousands. In 2018 I first considered training as a celebrant; when my son Josh was diagnosed with leukaemia, those plans went on hold. I delivered the eulogy at his funeral and was thus inspired to take formal training. However you choose to commemorate the life of your loved one, I aim to capture their essence in a personalised tribute. A tribute that uniquely celebrates and honours their life, one you, your family and friends will remember forever.

Caveat Emptor!

Be careful if you're planning a direct cremation and have seen the TV adverts.

Pure Cremation's ad has just been banned by the Advertising Standards Authority for misleading customers into thinking an attended service was included in their standard package. It isn't.

The reality is there is no service or celebration as part of their standard package.

Direct or unattended cremations do have a place in the right circumstances; if you think that's what you want, my best advice is to find a local funeral director to do this for you.

It will often be cheaper than a national company and will take place locally, rather than at the other end of the country, as can be the case with the national firms.

And if you think it might be the right option for you and you need help finding a local funeral director who can help, just ask me.

Mascara. An irreverent funeral poem.

They've gone. But they're still watching. And they can't help noticing your tears.

After years of promising, it is finally here.

Josh, You Were a Pain in the Arse. My first collection of original poems for funerals and celebrations of life.

One of the most watched readings on my channel, so I am bringing it here too.

"The Train of Life" by James S. Tippett. People come and go throughout our lives. When someone we love reaches their station, this poem somehow puts it into words.

The final proof landed today. Every amendment made.

Josh, You Were a Pain in the Arse. Coming 14th June.

700 funerals. 5 years. One calm voice.
A collection of poems for the moments when words usually fail. Written by a father who lost a son and found a new path as a funeral celebrant.

and I turned to see your face;
