🌿 Funeral Ceremonies & Celebrations of Life
Crafted with Calm, Compassion, and Meaning
By David Linaker | Funeral Celebrant UK

💬 When Words Matter Most
In the midst of loss, a well-crafted funeral or celebration of life can offer more than closure — it can be a moment of real connection, remembrance, and healing.
With over 25 years’ experience working with grieving families, I create bespoke ceremonies that reflect the unique personality, values, and story of your loved one — whether faith-based, secular, or somewhere in between.
I work with compassion, calm, and clarity to help you honour their life in a way that feels authentic and healing.

You value a celebrant who can balance reverence with warmth and a lightness of touch
-
You may be spiritual but not religious, and want that nuance understood
-
You need clear, steady guidance through the unfamiliar
