David O'Neill

As a professionally trained Civil Funeral Celebrant, I provide bespoke funeral services designed to honour your loved one's unique life journey. My compassionate approach ensures a personalised farewell that reflects the essence of the life you are trying to honour and celebrate.

Each ceremony is a tribute to your loved one, and is uniquely crafted from the stories you tell me of their life. I will share the words I write with you so that you are part of that creation, making sure that the story told is the story you want told. With a focus on respect and compassion, every service is crafted to honour the life, values, and memories of the departed. You can choose if you want to include any combination of prayers, hymns, poems and music. Or maybe you have something else in mind? I can help guide you through the choices during this difficult time, so that the ceremony and tribute is what you want, and what they would have wanted.

Here are just a few testimonials from the families who have used my services:

AI Policy: I do not, and will not, use Artificial Intelligence to create the tribute for your loved one. They were not a robot, so you will not be given the words of a robot. It's as simple as that.
