A meaningful and personal send off with Sarah Bowness

What is a Funeral Celebrant

If you'd prefer a funeral ceremony which reflects your loved one and celebrates their life, you've come to the right place. I work with families who would rather take the focus off religion and instead zone in on their loved one.  I focus on their character, relationships, achievements, and all of the things they enjoyed to do whilst they were here.

This type of ceremony is perfect for those who are non-religious.  Its also a great option if you're looking for a more human approach. Step away from generic and experience a much more personal and bespoke.

What I do

Wonderful Memories After having a good natter with my families,

I then use their most precious memories to create a ceremony which truly reflects their loved ones. I create and perform this type of service in a down to earth, relaxed style. This brings the most comfort to those who attend the funeral. It takes the focus away from their loss, instead concentrating on all of the wonderful memories they have. It gives them time to reflect on everything they meant to those who love them most.

About Me

Choose Peace of Mind

I've been helping bereaved families since 2017, and pride myself in making each and every ceremony completely unique. I have received such wonderful feedback from these families who have, over the years. I'm often requested by name when they have sadly lost more loved ones.

After lots of hard work, I am now one of the most sought after funeral celebrants in North Wales. This is so humbling and a huge compliment. I am so devoted to each service that I create.  It really does mean so much to hear my work is not only appreciated but praised.

Funerals When you book me as your celebrant,

I'll call you to arrange popping in for an informal chat about your loved one.

During this time I will ask you about your relationship to them.  We'll talk about things they had enjoyed and achieved.  There may be special places they have visited.  All of those wonderful elements that made up their life.

    During this time I will ask you about your relationship to them, things they had enjoyed and achieved, places they have visited, all of those wonderful elements that made up their life.

    I then go away and write a first draft which I then send to you via email and we go through it together making any changes you require until you feel it is absolutely perfect.

    On the day of the funeral, I will be at the crematorium (or other chosen venue) a short while before you arrive to ensure everything goes smoothly for you and your loved one.

"The service was so warm and full of love"
Sarah was chosen by our family to do our father's funeral. Sarah was honestly amazing and made the service so warm and full of love and feeling. You did our family proud at giving our father the service he deserved, and everyone commented at how lovely the service was.
we would highly recommend Sarah for any occasion. Thank you so much Sarah from all of our family.

"We were overwhelmed by Sarah's true vision of Tim"
I met with Sarah a few weeks ago and asked if she could do a reflection and celebration ceremony for me, I wanted to celebrate my late partner's 50th birthday special due to not been able to have a proper funeral when he passed, and wow did Sarah deliver .
After getting some memories of Tim Sarah then produced the most incredible ceremony filled with laughter love and special thoughts . I had arranged a family gathering at our special place and we were all overwhelmed at Sarahs true vision of Tim . I cant thank you enough for such a professional yet relaxed time.

"Sarah treated my family with the upmost dignity and respect."
My Mum wanted a non religious ceremony after she passed away. Sarah was the obvious choice as I'd been to a naming ceremony 4 years prior and it was wonderful and I knew she would be perfect to conduct a sincere service for my Mum.
Sarah was extremely professional and personable. She wrote a beautiful service for my Mum and delivered that service beautifully. We had so many comments about how nice the service was. Sarah treated my family with the upmost dignity and respect during this difficult time. Thank you Sarah for such a lovely service. Myself, my Dad and family will be forever grateful to you x

"It was as if she had known my mum"
Another humanist recommended Sarah, as she was unavailable herself. We wanted to send my mum off with a warm and sensitive ceremony, but with plenty of humour - that's what she would have wanted. Sarah delivered a pitch perfect ceremony. The way she spoke, it was as if she had known my mum. Many afterwards commented it was the loveliest funeral they had ever been to. The biggest compliment, my dad asked her if she would do his 😉 Thank you again Sarah for listening so carefully to us, helping us process our grief and ultimately to remember a sad but special day. Preferably not too soon, but hope to see you again
