I realise the importance of creating a heartfelt, unique and memorable tribute for each individual; everybody is different and has a story to tell. Having experienced close family death at a young age, I understand the comfort and value of saying farewell in a fitting and beautiful way relevant to the person who has died. I will spend time with you, creating a meaningful ceremony around the wishes and beliefs of the person who has died, through word and music, respectfully, with love and gratitude.

Simon has long held an interest in how people overcome life's difficulties and move on to a sense of personal choice and freedom. He is an author on this subject and trained in Psychosynthesis Psychotherapy in the 1990s. He also practices as a trainer coach and counsellor.
Simon experienced the importance and power of funerals when his wife died in her early 40s. Having successfully created a funeral which spoke to both her elderly parents and the younger generation of friends, he felt at first hand the incredible healing power of the funeral ceremony and how a well-chosen reading and heartfelt, honest assessment of a person's life can transform the ceremony and deepen everyone's understanding of and connection to the person.
Simon is trained in public performance and speaking as well as ceremonies. Passionate about words, music and poetry, he brings to his ceremonies eloquence, a gentle informality and he creates a safe place to express feelings.
