Tapestry Funerals
Personalised funeral and memorial services held in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hillingdon
Why choose an independent funeral celebrant?
Nowadays, many people consider themselves unaffiliated to one particular religion and identify as being atheist, agnostic, spiritual or multifaith in their beliefs. A funeral celebrant helps a family create a personalised ceremony, framing rituals of their choice, to help them say goodbye. A ceremony led by an independent funeral celebrant is similar to one led by a humanist celebrant in so far as it focuses on the life and legacy of the person who has died. However, because independent celebrants are not representatives of a doctrine, the ceremonies they lead can either be secular or include prayers, religious readings and hymns depending on the wishes of the person who has died or those of their family and loved ones.

Why choose Tapestry Funerals?
I will help you create a bespoke, personalised funeral or memorial service where each memory, reading and piece of music is carefully selected to reflect and honour the life of the person who has died. Together, we can weave their history and personality through each element of the ceremony - like a tapestry! I believe funeral and memorial services should not be endurance tests; my aim is to make them as comforting and supportive for those left behind as possible.
