Kate May - Independent Funeral Celebrant
Crafting meaningful and tailored funeral ceremonies in Cheltenham.
Thank you for visiting my website.
My name is Kate May. I'm an Independent Funeral Celebrant.
If you've recently experienced the passing of a loved one, I extend my deepest condolences to you, your family and friends.
During these challenging times, finding the right words and creating a meaningful farewell can be overwhelming. As a dedicated funeral celebrant, I'm here to offer support and guidance, ensuring that your loved one's farewell reflects their life and legacy.
Planning A Funeral
I understand that it's a challenging and emotional time for you, your family and friends.
Together, we will aim to craft a meaningful and respectful funeral service for your recently departed loved one.
Planning a funeral ceremony can be overwhelming, especially amidst grief.
You may be unaware of the variety of options available, there are alternatives to standard ceremonies.
Perhaps your loved one wasn't religious but still wanted a spiritual touch to their service. I offer flexibility, from entirely humanist, non-religious services to services incorporating spiritual elements like hymns and blessings.
All ceremonies are tailored to honour and celebrate your loved one's memory.
How it Works
- Meeting with your Family: In the comfort of your home, a time to discuss the deceased's life and funeral wishes.
- Creating a Ceremony: We design a ceremony reflecting the deceased's personality and beliefs, incorporating readings, music and poems. Family members are invited to share memories and read.
- Leading the Ceremony: As a celebrant, I will guide the ceremony and welcome guests. I can also deliver readings and the eulogy.
- Providing Support: Throughout the planning process and on the funeral day, I am available to offer support, guidance and comfort to your family. You will not be on your own.
The Service
Together we will create a heartfelt and personalised funeral ceremony that captures the essence of your loved one’s life and the memories you all shared.
We plan the service with readings, blessings, poems and music. There are many options available.
Every ceremony is individual and it's up to you how you want to plan it out.
Every person is unique and I strive to create a personalised ceremony that will reflect the life and personality of your loved one.
We will ensure we create a meaningful tribute that brings comfort and healing to all those who attend the service.
