I’m Sarah, a Humanist funeral celebrant based in Brighton. After 28 years as a primary school teacher, I bring a calm, thoughtful approach to supporting families at one of life’s most difficult moments. I listen carefully and I would like to offer you a safe pair of hands to support and guide you and your family with kindness and quiet confidence in creating a personal, meaningful, and respectful ceremony that celebrates the life of your loved one. I warmly welcome enquiries from anyone who has lost someone close.
I have extensive experience supporting both adults and children through bereavement, and I understand how overwhelming this time can feel. It is a real privilege to help families mark this moment and honour a life and tell their story with care and meaning. I warmly welcome enquiries from anyone who has lost someone close.
I create non-religious funeral ceremonies that focus on the heartfelt recognition of the person who has died, that are personal, meaningful, and respectful.
In the words of Jane Goodall:
“Every individual life matters, every individual has a role to play, every individual has made a difference.”
Each ceremony is shaped around the life, values and wishes of the person who has died and created with stories and memories from close family and friends. Providing an opportunity for people to come together not just to share emotion but to celebrate a life lived. I guide families with calm support throughout the process, helping them feel listened to, and gently held and reassured at every step.
I also offer ceremonies to mark the death and say goodbye to much-loved pets. These ceremonies recognise the depth of the bond shared with a companion animal and the grief that can follow. These ceremonies provide a space to reflect, remember, and celebrate a pet’s life with warmth and respect. Each farewell is shaped with care, compassion, and understanding.
We begin with a relaxed conversation, where I listen and learn about the person you have lost. Together, we create a personal, meaningful ceremony, which I then lead with calm guidance on the day.
If you’d like to talk things through, please get in touch. I’m here to listen and help in any way I can.
