About Me

Dawn-20

Hi there and so pleased you have found me!

Three words to describe me - colourful (I love bright colours and wear them a lot!), practical (I get things done and love doing that with others) and fun (I firmly believe that no matter how dark things may seem, we need to laugh).

When I'm not taking a ceremony, writing one or talking to the bereaved, I am truly blessed with a gorgeous and supportive husband (I hope he doesn't read this as he will blush!), 3 fantastic dogs of varying sizes, 6 cats of varying ages plus a menagerie of ducks, birds, hedgehogs and foxes that visit our garden for all the food we give them.

I love gardening and have some great success in growing every weed known to man with some plants I actually want hidden amongst them.

Have van, Wool Travel!

We have a campervan, called Patricia, which we pack us, all the glamping stuff and the dogs into (a Tetris challenge that my husband loves) and go away for long weekends as often as we can.

All of this doesn't leave me much time for my other passions of knitting and sewing. I quite literally have a loft full of wool!! ......As my husband keeps reminding me.

My Make-up?

And my guilty pleasure - watching Glow Up – on the face of it (forgive the pun), it’s just not me. I don’t do make- up on a daily basis, don’t know most of the celebrities, websites, games etc that are mentioned on it but I remain amazed by what some of the MUAs (Make-up Artists) can do with make-up even if I will never do it myself!

Why me?

Great question - this is an important choice. I have spent the majority of my working life in a corporate job for a blue chip company. I have gained a well deserved reputation of being calm, reassuring and organised in stressful situations. But also with the ability to bring a touch of humour when required to get people through challenging times.

I am a natural public speaker and storyteller. All of my experiences, both in and out of work, have given me numerous skills which have been further enhanced by my training at the Academy of Modern Celebrancy (AMC). This means that I will put together a memorable, life affirming, respectful, celebratory funeral service that is splashed with the correct level of humour.
