I live in the quiet village of Defford, just outside Pershore.

I have been a funeral celebrant for over a decade, helping those who are newly bereaved to celebrate the life of their loved ones with warmth, compassion and care; navigating the creation and delivery of a funeral or memorial service with ease.
