FUNERALS
Covid-19 Update - Annie is able to help plan your ceremony via telephone or online consultation. If you find yourself needing to comply with the limitation on funeral attendees she is able to offer you advice and alternative ceremonies during the pandemic.
Losing a loved one is a time of enormous personal challenge and being there to help plan and conduct this final act of respect for your loved one is a great privilege.
A funeral is a time to honour, remember and celebrate their life, as well as to mourn their passing.
I work with you to create a service which both reflects the beliefs and wishes of your loved one – as well as allowing you to focus on your loss and find comfort in the memories.
And in my role as a Funeral Celebrant, I am able to conduct a range of different ceremonies tailored to your individual wishes, such as:
Part religious or non-religious (including elements such as hymns and prayers)
Spiritual
Holistic
Green Funerals
Natural Burials
Ceremonies combining the beliefs of your loved one
I will lead you through the service on the day with loving commitment to your needs and the promise of comfort through this final act of communal respect.
Whether you want to speak on the phone or send a short message, you can contact me here.
“Annie Oulton was the celebrant for my aunt's funeral in June 2020. Those attending were mostly my aunt's nephews, nieces and godchildren.
We all felt that Annie had conducted the service very much along the lines of what we had asked for and in a way that I feel sure my aunt would have approved.
Annie combined a very professional approach with a very caring one. She made everyone there feel very much involved in the service and although she had never met my aunt showed an interest in, and a respect for her. She encouraged us with our contributions and was very supportive.
She helped a lot in the preparations beforehand and in the final version of the service to which she made some useful and interesting contributions. She managed to get involved without being intrusive and was anxious to make sure we ended up with the service we all wanted. She was open to all ideas.
We were very pleased we chose Annie as our celebrant on this important occasion”.

FAQs
Why Choose an Independent Celebrant?
Independent Celebrants are also requested and recommended by Funeral Directors to conduct funerals where the deceased has left specific wishes for a non-religious service. Funerals may take place at a crematorium, or outdoors at ‘green’ funeral sites.
How much does it cost?
As an Independent Celebrant, I will charge a one-off, all-inclusive fee, based on the size and scale of your ceremony – this is most usually arranged through the Funeral Director who is co-ordinating the arrangements.
Once agreed, I will give you as much time and expertise with planning this unique event as you need, to help you shape the ceremony to your own personal requirements.
