"From the first point of contact, Piers was professional, calm, friendly and it was obvious he was very keen to ensure my relative had the respect they deserved at their funeral. Piers worked hard to ensure all the facts for the eulogy were correct and that I was happy with it. And at the actual service it was as if Piers had known my relative which went down really well with the audience. Piers also read the room and added a few appropriate remarks that were appreciated by all of us. I would definitely highly recommend Piers as a celebrant for any occasion."

"Such a lovely service . Professional with the human touch. I would highly recommend Piers it couldn’t have been nicer. He took the time to listen and really get to have a good understanding of the person he was talking about. Thank you"

Up on Embsay Crag yesterday, I found this little stone stack - to which I added a stone while enjoying the beautiful view. It made me think about who may have started it and what they were thinking as they journeyed on. What reminds you of a loved one - something they’ve left behind?

"Just a massive thank you to you Piers from myself and the whole family for conducting an amazing funeral service for a much loved Husband, Dad, Grandad and Great Grandad Brian on one of the worst days of our lives.

Your compassion, professionalism and guidance during a very difficult time was made so much more bearable ,you went that extra mile which was very much appreciated and we are deeply grateful."

“Piers helped to guide our family through a very difficult, emotional time with great understanding, care and compassion. He has a calming presence and gentle nature and is very personable. At our initial meeting he took the time to get to know us and to learn about the kind of person our brother was and what he meant to all of us, so that he could reflect this in the service. He really helped to put us at ease and made a very difficult time easier to deal with. Not only did he deliver a beautiful service, he also guided us through the whole process and we really benefitted from his knowledge and experience. For anyone reading this review, Piers comes very highly recommended by all of our family and friends. Many attendees at the funeral commented on how well the service went and especially noted how Piers delivered a personalised service, which reflected and honoured our beloved brother in a very genuine and befitting way.”

""Thank you so much for everything you did to ensure we had a very special celebration of life event for our mum. You really helped myself and my brother work through everything and your suggestions were really thoughtful and brought everything together. The whole service felt very personal and just right."

"The celebration of my mum’s life was a lovely event thanks to Piers’ skill and professionalism in weaving together a eulogy and other elements to create a really warm and loving service with elements of humour as well as of course sadness. We really can’t thank him enough, it was a perfect tribute to her whilst taking away all worry and stress from us. Thank you Piers, highly recommend."

“Piers was the perfect fit for our family and delivered my dad’s eulogy with the perfect mix of affection and humour. Starting the day with such sadness & anxiety our family and friends left the service with joy in our hearts and a few laughs throughout, something my dad would have loved. Piers managed to delivery exactly what my dad wanted laughter and NO TEARS. Would highly recommend”

I had the privilege of taking a service at Skipton crematorium last week for a much-loved friend to many. The 65ish seats were quickly filled and so we enabled many more people to find places to stand and even eventually sit on the floor and even standing next to me at the front. Eventually there was well over a hundred gathered inside as well as those standing outside or joining us remotely via a weblink.
While there was of course sadness amongst us, the full room added to the sense of celebration of a life well-lived. The stories told and the poems read, as well as the photos and music played all added to the occasion.
I believe that enabling an atmosphere of warmth and welcome is an crucial part of my role as a celebrant, as funerals are times when people need to be helped to be as calm as possible - not least so that everyone can truly feel what is within them - sadness, gratitude, inspiration and… even joy.

A Funeral Director told me today that families have sometimes asked him to book "the man who works at the crematorium" to take the service for them - BUT...
..there are no celebrants who work at the crem - we're all independent., SO...

please remember that should you want me (or another celebrant) to take a loved one's service - ask for me (or them) by name.

You can also plan for your your own service when the time comes, by writing my name down in your funeral plan along with your other wishes - music etc.

PLAN AHEAD AND MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOUR FAMILY.

Really kind words from a family I was able to help this week.

"Piers has recently held the service for my dad who suddenly passed away and did an amazing job, which has also been complimented by all who attended. He has a great way with words and has a very kind and thoughtful nature. The eulogy piers created for my dad was so wonderful and it felt very special and personal as if he had known him himself. We as a family would highly recommend piers to anybody and a few Even Commented on how they’d like piers to speak at their funeral as he did such a great job and helped play a key part in making my dads service so special and comforting. Thankyou again piers you really did do an incredible service."
Many thanks and kind regards
Tracey, Suzannah & Joe fox and family

Weddings that start with you

When I’m asked to create a ceremony for a couple, I start with them - their ideas, their story, their hopes for their day. I never offer an ‘insert name here’ sort of ceremony - because each couples journey is different, and there are a thousand ways of marking their uniqueness, making their vows, hosting their guests and enjoying a day like no other.

Yet, at the same time, I recognise the importance of tradition too - that’s why the ceremonies I lead are noted for their blend of original, contemporary and traditional elements.

I’m also a Wedding Day Coordinator - which means I don’t only help the couple have a unique ceremony, but also to enjoy the rest of the day, knowing their guests are welcomed, their plans are in safe hands, and their suppliers coordinated.

If you’d like to explore how partnering with me could ensure you avoid an ‘off-the-peg’ ceremony and instead celebrate with bespoke style and relaxed assurance, do get in touch. With more than 25 years since my first wedding, deep pockets of resources and ideas, consistently positive reviews and a personality that brings charm and confidence to your day, I’ll help you invest in the biggest day of your life.
