Alistair Brien - CELEBRANT

I have been where you are now. I organised, wrote and spoke at my father’s funeral so I understand how important it is to create a service that celebrates and honours life with poems, readings, prayers and songs that truly resonate.

Saying goodbye to a loved one is never easy. But I will be with you every step of the way. I will meet with you and take time to understand your loved one and how you and your family may have felt about them. That way, each special memory can be shared with dignity, warmth, respect and even humour.

Together we can write their story and I can also help guide you as you choose music, poems or readings which fully reflect your loved one’s character, passions and interests.

 From cremations to natural burials, remembrance services to committal of ashes, together we can create a  very personal farewell ceremony for your loved one. Every service that I deliver is uniquely and respectfully created according to your wishes. If you and/or your family are more comfortable writing and reading your own words of remembrance, I can also help you with that.

Worried about what to do or say? I can help you with empathy, understanding and practical support and, together, we will create a service that not only remembers and celebrates life, but also provides beautiful lasting memories for those who attend. It may contain no religious content at all, or contain some element of faith or spirituality. In fact, it can contain whatever you feel appropriate for yourself and your loved ones.

I will meet with you, discuss your wishes  and requirements  and write and deliver a ceremony that will meet those needs.
