Funerals
Ceremonies at crematoria, cemeteries and gravesides. I write the words and lead the service, working alongside your funeral director.
About funeral ceremoniesFuneral & memorial celebrant in London
A funeral should sound like the person it is for.
I’m Brayden. I work with families to write and lead funerals and memorials across London and surrounding areas.
You can contact me directly or through your funeral director.
What do you remember about them?
My approach to the ceremonyThe way they answered the phone. Their terrible directions. The people they always made time for. Often, it’s the small details that make us say, “That was them.”
I’ll spend time asking about those things, alongside the bigger events in their life. You don’t need to have a biography ready. Our conversations give me what I need to write the ceremony.
I came to celebrancy through writing, storytelling and working closely with people. More about me.
