I trained with the Funeral Celebrant Academy and I am also a qualified Life and Wellbeing Coach, having worked one on one with hundreds of clients over the last 13 years.
​
I was drawn to train as a celebrant as I wanted to be able to help to celebrate the life of a loved one who has died. I encountered death at a very young age, when my best friend died, very suddenly and unexpectedly. This was a huge life lesson in appreciating and cherishing every moment in life. Since then I have lost several family and friends. This led me on my own path to try and understand death as being a part of life and not something unspoken, until it happened. A funeral is the last collective public act for the person who has died. It would me my honour and privilege to be part of creating a treasured memory of this celebration of life and love.
​
I live in London but treasure any time I can get to escape to the countryside to enjoy nature and all that this beautiful country has to offer.

A little bit about me...
Feedback received from services I had led
​
"Thank you Shirley again for everything and for putting together a beautiful service for our Mum. Meeting you felt so right. I know if Mum had a choice for someone to do her service, she would have most definitely chosen you herself"
"Thank you for your amazing words. Nan was so happy with how it all went"
​
"Shirley led us before and on the day with such kindness and dignity"
