James C Brodie - Civil Celebrant

Thoughtful ceremonies unique to the individual, crafted with care and attention

As a professionally trained funeral celebrant, I am here to work together with you to create a ceremony that honours the life of the departed and offers a meaningful tribute to them as a person. Funerals - Memorials - Scattering of Ashes. A fitting farewell, right for them and for you.

Creating Meaningful Tributes

I will meet with you in person (unless there is some compelling reason why we are not able to do so) to learn about the life, character, and personality of your friend or family member and discuss all possibilities for the contents of the service.

My Service to You

Your Choice
You may choose to include religious elements, such as a prayer, hymn, or reading in the service, or to go with no religious content at all. Music, poetry, readings, images – together we will craft your selections into an appropriate and memorable ceremony that captures the unique essence of the departed, gives all who attend space to mark their loss, say farewell, and take the first step on their own path of healing.
Attention to Detail
To ensure complete accuracy and your approval of everything included in the service, I will send you a draft script before the ceremony and make any changes to it that you wish. I will also provide you with a presentation script after the ceremony as a keepsake.
My Training
I have been rigorously trained and assessed for my skill and suitability as a celebrant by Civil Ceremonies Ltd. and hold an NOCN Level Three Diploma in Funeral Celebrancy. This means you can be confident in my ability to create and deliver the funeral you are arranging.
