My name is Clare and it is a pleasure to introduce myself to you. My formal education includes technical expertise within a commercial industry and I hold a Post Graduate Certificate in Education and a Master of Arts Degree in Leadership and Management. I am a proud mother of a grown up daughter and a professionally trained and insured independent funeral celebrant serving families across Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire.
With over 25 years of dedicated service to Further Education at a senior level and positively impacted the lives of many colleagues and students, choosing to become a professionally qualified celebrant was a natural vocation for me, applying my knowledge and expertise as an educator. I am a certified member of the Academy of Professional Celebrants.
I have nurtured the key qualities and skills required to be a highly regarded celebrant, planning, creating and leading special ceremonies filled with love, laughter and respect. I am kind, empathetic, sensitive with a good sense of humour. I have personal life experiences of loss that enable me to sensitively guide and comfort families during what can be a very difficult time in their lives.
Helping you every step of the way..
Creative writing is a passion of mine, capturing the essence of family values, weaving the wishes and beliefs of loved one's into the service to bring their story to life. I am inspired by the families I work with to actively listen, crafting and delivering unique ceremonies that are truly personalised and infused with love, compassion and genuine emotion.
I am meticulous in my planning and I will work directly with you, or alongside your funeral director, to ensure that every last detail of the ceremony is executed perfectly, surrounded by family and friends. I would be delighted to have a conversation with you; I will always go the ‘extra mile’ for my clients and dedicate my time in providing exceptional service and care.
