You may very well already have a venue in mind for the funeral. It may be at your local cemetery or crematorium, or a favourite local woodland. But for some people, none of the ‘standard’ venues feel quite right. It's entirely up to you which crematorium you would like to use for example. We’ve supported lots of people to consider whether their local village hall, pub, sports club, much-loved restaurant or back garden might feel like a more inspiring place to hold a funeral. There’s almost no limit to the possibilities. Talk to us about any and all your ideas.
Here are a few lovely places that might help spark some inspiration:

Le Gothique
Putney Rowing Club

Some families are confident that they want to lead the service themselves, with the simplicity and privacy that this brings. Others will choose a religious leader to reflect their faith. However lots of families would like someone to help them craft the content of the service. A celebrant can provide a solid anchor for the day, helping to lead the goodbyes. There are some magnificent celebrants who we know well. Do talk to us about what you think you need and we’ll find you just the right person to help.
