End of life rituals, celebrations and memorials for queer people.

Hi, I'm Em

I am an independent funeral celebrant supporting queer people who are dying, their friends and their families to plan end of life rituals, ceremonies and memorials in Sussex and beyond.

Collaborate

I work with you to plan and deliver the best memorial possible. We will discuss what you want from a memorial and how we can make sure the person at the centre of the service is honoured and that the people in attendance are supported in their grief.

I can support you to make the event that's right for you - from formal funerals to creative celebrations, they will both be full of meaning and love.

Celebrate

Celebrating someone’s life is an important and special moment for everyone involved. I work with you to make sure that you or your loved one is remembered in a meaningful and supportive way.

The celebration of yours or your loved ones life is an opportunity to hold space for both the love and the grief.

"Em has the calming presence of a well-rooted tree. They created a safe and warm container for a room full of ginormous grief; they gave the sorrow somewhere soft to land. They held us with tenderness, gently guiding us through the ceremony while also making space for moments of lightness and humour to emerge. Despite the unbearable bereavement, we were still honouring the fullness of the human we had lost—someone with a wicked sense of humour—and Em was able to strike the delicate balance between the dark and the light. If you are looking for someone to hold a ceremony with great care, nuance, and warmth, then Em is the ideal person."
