Hello! I'm Kate. I'm an experienced and accredited funeral celebrant who creates meaningful, uplifting and heartfelt ceremonies.
I'm based in Conwy, North Wales and work across Gwynedd, Conwy and Denbighshire.

Paying tribute to someone’s life is about more than a list of dates and accolades. I believe our funerals should reflect who we are in life, in our own unique ways, and I'm passionate about helping people redefine what a funeral should and could be.
The process of coming together as a community to celebrate the life of someone you loved can be deeply cathartic and a positive part of your grief. I’m here to guide you through the process, with kindness and compassion, to make a difficult time a bit easier.

Say goodbye in a meaningful ceremony which reflects who your person was in their lifetime. Together, we can plan an amazing send-off.
Celebrations of Life can take place anywhere! On the beach, in the pub, in your person's favourite place. Laugh, cry and raise a glass with those who knew your person best.
Want to do things your own way but need a guiding hand to give you confidence or help with eulogy writing? This is the option for you.
If you're arranging a funeral for a loved one and would like to work with me, give me a call to check I'm available, then pass my details on to your funeral director.
Or perhaps your funeral director has recommended me to work as the celebrant for the funeral you're planning. I'm here to answer any questions you might have, and am happy to have a chat so that you can make sure I'm a good fit.

“For an occasion where there are never the right words, Kate somehow managed to find them.”
“You absolutely got the Fredness of Fred. I was asked a few times how you knew Fred - you encapsulated him so well.”
“Kate helped to really capture the essence of who our mum was. It was a celebration of her life from start to finish - just truly outstanding.”
“Kate listens deeply and has great patience and understanding. She is so grounded and reassuring, so tuned in from the very beginning. She brings real heart to the role that she plays, then delivers it with class, warmth and skill.”
“We’re going to sleep soundly knowing we gave Mum a good send-off. She would have been proud of us!”
“You did the most amazing job and I don’t know how you do it. What a special gift! You were the best woman for the job and Dad would have loved you. You got it so right”
“I cannot express just how much your ceremony meant to us. It was perfect, really capturing the essence of Adam as if you really knew him. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making what was a tragic heartbreaking occasion into something so special.”
“Kate's ability to blend our Sikh beliefs with stories about Dad's life was heartwarming. If you are thinking about whether you need Kate, I can honestly say it was the best decision we made, and we can't thank her enough.”
“If I had to give Kate a rating out of 10 it would be 15. She went above and beyond, I could not have asked for more.”
“Kate gleaned the absolute essence of Dad so quickly and accurately and her ceremony was perfect and always utterly professional.”
“Kate did a sterling job – she got the words, memories and tone of the ceremony absolutely perfect. Saying goodbye wasn’t easy but I know that my weird and wonderful daughter would have loved everything about it”
“I knew from our first conversation that I’d made the right choice. Your empathy and sensitivity just shone out. Your hard work, guidance and leadership made the event.”
“Kate did an amazing job of bringing out a truly celebratory story of mum's life. She led the ceremony in a professional yet easy going manner, with good humour and the positive tone we had aimed for.”
“Kate is kind, helpful, compassionate, understanding, organised and efficient. Without knowing my mother she spoke of her life as if she knew her, that is a gift not everyone has.”
“You listened so carefully to what we said, so we definitely recognised Andy from your words. I loved that people were able to laugh as well as to cry”
“Several people commented on how it was the ‘best’ funeral they’d ever been to.”
“Kate went out of her way to make the worst time of our lives a day to celebrate.”
“Kate helped us arrange a not-at-all traditional funeral. We didn’t want anything religious or formal, and she completely respected our views and helped us plan something much more fitting.”
“You made a difficult job look so easy. All we can say is a mahoosive thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We can’t fault your kind nature and reassuring tones. Your storytelling was fabulous.”
“It may seem strange to say so, but we really enjoyed the whole of the proceedings. We are all in agreement that we did him proud."
“Ben would have really liked you. I’m forever grateful that you chose to support us and be such a big part of his resting.”
