About me

My work as an award-winning communicator, university lecturer, broadcaster, and published author, brought me the highest of business success but left me unsatisfied and frustrated.

A friend suggested I would find fulfilment as a celebrant, allowing me to use my years of professional experience in the most privileged of situations – supporting people through the toughest of days.

I am now a qualified, practicing, celebrant creating and officiating all kinds of bespoke funerals and am looking forward to helping you.

Kind words

Allison was a supportive and attentive celebrant and helped us through the whole process.

The funeral was a wonderful celebration of my father’s life and I would recommend Allison as she conducted the whole event beautifully.”

Allison worked with us to produce a wonderful service and tribute. It was spoken with warmth, wit and humour which is what we wanted as a fitting tribute. I cannot express our thanks enough to the kindness shown by Allison.
I would highly recommend her services to anyone you won’t be disappointed.”

Allison carefully and thoroughly aided me in selecting the information to include in her non religious eulogy for my dear wife which included our favourite music and poetry. Allison is a very caring and kind person who greatly helped us to deal with our grief at the passing of someone who was greatly loved by all who met her……”
