Planning a Funeral
Plan a Funeral Ceremony That Feels Like You
At Forget Me Not Celebrant, I believe your story should be told your way. Some people prefer a professional deliver their carefully written funeral service. Others want to involve a loved one, a friend, a child, or a partner to speak on their behalf. Both choices are deeply personal and equally valid.
That’s why I offer two tailored options: full celebrant service delivery or bespoke coaching for someone you trust to lead the ceremony. Whichever path you choose, my job is to make sure the service runs smoothly, respectfully, and in your voice.
This is your moment to take control and offer clarity and comfort to the people you leave behind.
Delivering The Funeral
Professional Celebrant to Deliver Your Funeral
When the time comes, I will lead your ceremony in person just as we planned it. From the first piece of music to the final farewell, every word will reflect your values, your voice, and your wishes.
You’ll know that someone calm, experienced and compassionate is there to represent you. I’ll take care of the timing, the flow, and the emotional space so that your family can simply be present.
This option is ideal for those who want peace of mind, knowing everything will be taken care of with dignity and warmth.
Coaching Family and Friends
Coaching a Family or Friend to Speak
If you’d prefer someone close to you to speak, but they’re unsure how. I’ll guide them through every step. Together, we’ll prepare the script, practise delivery, and explore how to handle nerves and emotions on the day.
This coaching can happen over a few relaxed sessions and is suitable for anyone with the heart to do it, even if they’ve never spoken in public before.
It’s a powerful, personal way to say goodbye — and I’ll make sure your chosen person feels ready, confident and supported.

Why This Matters?
Your Voice, Even When You’re Not in the Room.
Planning your service in advance gives you control over one of the most meaningful moments in your life story. Whether delivered by a celebrant or someone you love, the service becomes a gift a chance to express love, say thank you, or offer reassurance to those you leave behind.
And for your family, it’s one less decision to make at a difficult time.

What we can do?
Every service includes a fully written and personalised funeral script that captures your life and wishes with care.
I’ll help guide your choices for music, readings and the overall structure, ensuring it all feels right for you. You can choose between having your ceremony delivered in person or receiving one-to-one coaching to support a loved one in leading the service themselves.
Ongoing support is available right up to the day, and I can travel across Oxfordshire, Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire and nearby areas. (Other areas of the country can be covered with agreement).
If you’d like, I can also create a printed version of the script or a memory booklet to keep or share with family and friends.

Testimonial
Dear Julie,
Many thanks indeed for all your efforts in helping to arrange the funeral on Friday and personally, for your help in drafting the Order of Service.
It went exceptionally well, thanks to your attention to getting the order of service right and your conduct of the service itself. On the latter, it was agreed by all that you officiated with just the right touch, showing considerable empathy, which drew out the best from the readers and the family, not to mention a deft touch as the service progressed.
It was a great credit to you, the crematorium staff and Becky at Memoria.
Please pass on my thanks to the crematorium staff. It was by far the best crematorium I have been to, well laid out and organised.
Once again, many thanks. Your support to us all was invaluable and much appreciated.
