Hello - I'm Grace, an independent funeral celebrant

I’ve spent over 20 years working in communications and events for charities and the public sector, and now I’m bringing the skills I’ve learned along the way into planning and delivering meaningful funeral services. 

I lost my mum in 2021, and ended up with a celebrant who just didn’t take the time to get to know who mum was or why she was special. The ceremony felt so flat. I decided then that I could do better.

I'm not just here to deliver a script on the day. I'm here to listen to your stories, your memories, all the little details that made your loved one who they were. I want to know about them - the way they laughed, what got them up in the morning, and what it was like to be loved by them. 

I'll guide you through the planning at whatever pace feels right, and I'll be a calm, steady presence on the day itself, so you can focus on being with the people you love and saying goodbye.

I'm based in East London and work across Waltham Forest, Hackey, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets, Barking and Dagenham and Newham. I'm proud to work with families of all backgrounds, beliefs and traditions, and I'll always create a ceremony that reflects your values and your person.
