☀️ Glorious weather for a natural burial today - my first at Tithe Green Natural Burial We said goodbye to a woman who was a force of nature. There were some tears, of course, but it was a ceremony full of smiles and laughter. Just as she would have wanted.

👩 It was lovely to meet Tracey from Tithe Green Natural Burial and put a face to the name at long last. How the team at Tithe Green get to know their clients and their families, remember them, and care for them really touched me. Setting the standard for the funeral industry 🙌

🌿 Hope to be back there soon, it really is a beautiful place ❤️

💥WEDDING REHEARSAL ENERGY💥
🤪 I look like a total goon here because I could not stop grinning at today's wedding rehearsal!
📋 No spoilers, but there's a lot to coordinate, and a run-through was helpful for everyone. It all went brilliantly though, happy days!
🎉 I'm so excited for this one! The energy my couple are bringing is 🧨💥🧨

Nailed it! 🔨

🔨 Whether it's a ceremony script for a funeral, wedding, or anything else I get asked to do, this is what I aim for
🔨 The most important part of my job is listening - what is it my client wants, what are they saying, what are they not saying?
🔨 I love the variety that this job brings and the opportunity to create unique ceremonies that are *just right*

🔨🤍🤍🤍🔨

🌈 Here I am, on my way to take a funeral, NOT wearing black.
🌈 Did you know that I always ask clients what they would like me to wear when leading a funeral (or wedding, or any ceremony)?
🌈 I will always try to fit in with a theme or a colour scheme and am happy to dress as formally or informally as you want.
🌈 I know that what I wear helps to set the tone for the whole ceremony, and me fitting in helps everyone to feel more comfortable.
🌈 I have taken funerals wearing jeans, a football shirt, animal print, and a very sparkly dress. I go out of my way to accommodate special requests, if I can.
📢 What funeral or wedding dress codes have you seen? I heard of a request for everyone to attend a funeral wearing Crocs!

For those who have lost their dad, today is another reminder of what is physically missing from their lives. This poem by Donna Ashworth captures so much of that. If you can, try to look for the breadcrumbs ♥️

Sending love to everyone today, and every day, when grief might be hitting that bit harder ♥️

As an independent celebrant, I often help families to create entirely secular ceremonies. Sometimes they do want to include a hymn or a prayer for religious, or traditional, reasons and that's fine too. I work with my client's belief system, not my own.

I wouldn't describe myself as a religious person, but I do find myself drawn to religious buildings, especially, but not exclusively, churches. I find them incredibly peaceful and contemplative places. I marvel at their architecture, the worksmanship within them, and wonder how on earth something could be built of such scale and grandeur hundreds of years ago.

This weekend I found myself in Boston, and visited St Botolph's. It blew me away! The volunteers there were so warm and welcoming, and the sheer size of this parish church was awesome. So, here's a couple of photos of St Botolph's and some other places of worship I've spent time in recently including Gloucester Cathedral, Holy Trinity in Bradford on Avon, Peterborough Cathedral and St Mary's Basilica in Krakow

🌿Think all crematoriums are cold, dark and imposing? Think again. Rushcliffe Oaks couldn't be more different - light, bright and friendly. Come and have a look for yourself at their open day, this Saturday, 13th April.
🌿I'll be there ready to talk about anything and everything relating to funeral ceremonies including music choices, songs you can sing that aren't hymns, why words matter and personal and meaningful rituals. I'm also primed for chatting about whether Forest will stay up, how expensive everything is these days and how grim and grey the last two weeks of Easter holidays have been! Look forward to seeing you there!

✨️Super excited to get started on a wedding ceremony for a very special couple who will be tying the knot here in September.
✨️D & I want a wedding ceremony that sparkles, that is fun and funny, and that their guests will be talking about for years to come. A celebrant's dream brief 🤩
✨️I went to have a look round yesterday and meet up with D & I to talk vibe and style. We are going to have so much fun 🎉 😀 So many stories to tell, and I can't wait to capture the dynamic of the happy couple. Love it when there's a brilliant, instant connection.
✨️ offers a variety of fantastic spaces for all kinds of events and is perfectly positioned riverside next to the suspension bridge. Name a better wedding photo opp!

🚺 I have the greatest privilege of helping families to tell the stories of the important women in their lives at their funerals.
🚺 On this I have been writing tributes and ceremonies for two women, very different in their lives and their characters. But both have struck me for their resilience, their dedication to the multitude of roles they performed, and the way they were quietly inspirational in their world. Totally unassuming, neither would have thought of themselves in that way.
🚺 A reminder, perhaps, that you are having an impact on your world and the people in it, even when you think you're not doing anything groundbreaking or noteworthy. You don't have to be doing big things to make a big difference.
🚺 The pebble in the picture was given to me by a family yesterday, one of hundreds of pebbles with a hole all the way through that their person had collected over the years. We're going to use them in her funeral 🤍

🤍 This is a popular choice for funerals and one of my personal favourites. Understated, uplifting, it seems to resonate with lots of people.
📖 There is so much out there that can make a suitable reading at a funeral, and it doesn't have to mention death.
🤍 Talk to your celebrant about your person and your family. They'll be only too happy to make suggestions of readings that you might not have thought about.

First time at the wonderful yesterday. Such a beautiful, peaceful setting, with views for miles over Belvoir Castle. As we raised our eyes to watch the doves we released in flight, it was the perfect place for this family to say goodbye to their person and think about new chapters.
Hope to be back here with owners Clair and James soon, they have started something very special.
Spot the 🌈 that appeared as we prepared to leave ❤️

🤍 No feedback or words of thanks are ever taken for granted. It really is a privilege to work with people during some of their most difficult times.
🤍 Creating a fitting farewell is so important, and I'm so proud that I get to help people to have a good goodbye.

Last service of the day at Bramcote Crematorium yesterday, and look at that beautiful sky when we came out! The time and venue for a funeral ceremony can make such a difference to the atmosphere it creates. Coming out into the dark seemed to make us all huddle toget more, like a big collective hug ❤️

A stunner of a sunny, crisp morning at Wilford Hill Crematorium for a farewell today. It's a traditional setting, and is a popular choice for funerals where I live. Not hard to see why on a day like today.

Sending love to all the families I've met this year and anyone who's got an empty chair at their table this Christmas. It can be such a difficult time.

Say their name. Feel their presence. Know you are loved.

With much love, Suzanne x

CELEBRANT SUPERPOWERS!
*cringe*

World Celebrants Week: Day 4

I think my *superpower* is the ability to CONNECT with my couples and families as well as all those attending the ceremony. It's this CONNECTION that enables me to understand what it is you want and need from your ceremony, capture your essence, and write and deliver something that resonates with everyone there.

I believe that CONNECTION is at the root of some of the things that my families and couples have said about me (taken directly from reviews and testimonials - which makes me much less cringey than me just telling you why I'm great!)

📣Suzanne was empathetic and sincere
📣You were so caring and professional
📣Your words were beautiful
📣How you captured us was perfect!
📣Your support and guidance was tremendous
📣You listened. We felt heard
📣You were wonderful! People were really touched by what they heard
📣We feel so lucky to have met you and have you be part of our journey

Phew. Glad that's over! 😂

I'm getting on board with and sharing a bit more about the wonderful world of celebrancy.

One thing's for sure, when I'm your celebrant, it's all about YOU and your loved ones. Not me. So, indulge me on day one of World Celebrants Week, which IS all about *ME*!

👋 I'm Suzanne, also known as Sue, Suze, and Mole (sometimes my eyes are so small you can barely see them)

🏉 I love rugby, all kinds of music, singing and dancing badly with friends, port, and people.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 I'm married to Mark, who's 6ft3in. I'm 5ft (and shrinking), and we have two children, a 10 yr old and a 5 yr old, who like to keep us on our toes.

🏡 I live in Nottingham, via London, Watford, and Bristol, but I am originally from Gloucester.

💪Before becoming a celebrant, I worked in Events and Communications, storytelling for government, charities and big brands. Now I tell people's stories ❤️

Anything else you'd like to know?! Fire away!

World Celebrants Week 2023 Three reasons to choose a celebrant: - CHOICE - BESPOKE - MEANINGFUL #wcw23 #worldcelebrantsweek #celebrant #celebrantnotts #nottingham #nottinghamwedding #nottinghamfuneral

The reality of being a celebrant... often out and about, my office is my phone and laptop. Strangely, these couple of hours I have in which to write when my daughter is climbing, are often the most productive of the week! #flexibleworking #celebrant #nottinghamcelebrant #celebrantlife

Had the privilege of reading this poem at a funeral service last week to say goodbye to a very special lady whose energy will always be felt by her loved ones ❤️
