When someone we love dies, the love we feel for them is as real as it ever was.
The feelings we had for them don’t go away. They might feel different for a while, perhaps even painful. But at the heart of our memories is love. I believe crafting someone’s service to mark the end of their life, is the greatest love story there is to tell.

It was my key aim when I wrote the training programmes for the CCTA, that they would feel inclusive. I had always avoided group training, as I often felt uncomfortable asking questions. This was therefore essential to my making our programmes one-to-one. I knew that one size training was not appropriate, so instead of qualifications that mean you got exactly the same training as the next, and the last student, I made mine adaptable. It's all about the students.

While the Registrar is required to hold a legal marriage, to complete the paperwork and issue your Certificate, there is no reason you would choose a ceremony with a Registrar if you knew you could work with a Celebrant. Really - absolutely nobody wants an inpersonal, rushed and purely legal service. They are all the same and the Registrar will probably never have spoken with the couple before the ceremony. They're out-dated, non-inclusive and a key reason why wedding reform is so over-due.

Under British law, when someone dies, you are obliged to dispose of their body in an appropriate manner. You are not required to have a funeral or ceremony. The ceremonial part of the process is there to offer comfort and hope to the people left behind. They are for the benefit of the grieving, not the dead.
