Naming Ceremony for Joani and Ash
Shipley, Yorkshire

“Thank you for the beautiful ceremony. It was very meaningful to me, and a real catalyst to live my life with more intention. You were wonderful, and held the space with such a strong, gentle presence. I will cherish the memory. Thank you so much.”

Best wishes
Abi

THANK YOU!!!! It was a lovely day, and a beautiful, interactive (in all senses!) ceremony. Thank you soooo much.

(Sibella’s Naming Ceremony)

When my daughter was about 2 years old, Veronika planned and officiated her naming ceremony, using our family input to personalise it. Once again, I found her understanding and delivery of ritual to be intuitive, meaningful and beautiful. The meaning of our daughter’s name, our wishes for her life, and the good wishes of the community were all woven into the ceremony, making it a moving and memorable ritual to ground her in our family and on the earth. Veronika facilitates the wishes of the families she officiates for with sensitivity and imbues her rituals with sincerity and meaning. Family and relationship are central to her life, and this really comes across in her celebrant work. I could not recommend her highly enough.

My Fee

My fee: £350
50% deposit (non-refundable) payable upon booking, with the balance paid by BACS one month before the ceremony.

Please note: Ceremonies 30 miles or more Penrith will be liable to a travel fee of 45p per mile.

So many guests were sceptical when I invited them to Andorra’s baby naming ceremony (as opposed to the traditional religion-based event), not least of all one of her godfather’s partner. A self-proclaimed traditionalist, he was not one for stepping away from norm and arrived somewhat aloof for our first ever meeting, however, he was not only hugely impressed but also quite moved by the whole event, and had a quiet word with me at the end saying how wonderful it had all been: all the attention to detail, the meaningful songs we chose, the passages read, each person’s input, the flower-spelling by women of Andorra’s name, and particularly the celebrant’s elegant role in all of it. Veronika infused the whole ceremony with the perfect depth of emotion I had intended, both in her words, their delivery, her intonations, witty asides, and in the meaning of the passages she read.

I have to say “On Children” by Kahlil Gibran from The Prophet was THE perfect reading for this occasion. She was also instrumental in providing ideas for the ceremony. When you’re compiling your own ceremony from scratch, staring at a blank piece of paper, you need all the help you can get, and Veronika was right there with myriad ideas that were all just perfect; it was hard to choose! She chatted and gelled well with the guests afterwards, moving gracefully amongst them and speaking to those with whom she felt a connection, and even my hard-to-please, dyed-in-the-wool, stickler-for-tradition mother was delighted with the whole experience.

During a recent exchange with a friend who attended, she mentioned someone who she had met at the ceremony, adding “What a wonderful day, I’ll never forget it”.

I would recommend Veronika to ANYONE looking for a genuine, caring and thoughtful celebrant; you will not be disappointed.

Funeral Arranger: Tracy Lazonby of Final Journey Funerals in Carlisle
Lovely five-star review of Funeral Celebrant Cerem Lovely five-star review of Funeral Celebrant Ceremony Planner 

"As a funeral celebrant I absolutely love this book. I have set up excels and word files to keep a record of the main points of the funerals I lead and this book is such a perfect way to review the main points in a succinct and clear way. The main aspects of any funeral are laid out with lots of room to write notes and all the most important bullet points are there. I wish I had thought of it because this book is going to simplify my note keeping in such a beautiful way. It is a fantastic "aide memoire" and one that I will use to support me and refer to on an ongoing basis. Perfect for any funeral celebrant."

I'm writing the eulogy of a man who absolutely loved gardening, and as much as he enjoyed growing over 360 different types of plants, he also really cherished the conversations with people who stopped to chat as they walked by.

Most of my evenings are spent writing eulogies. To Most of my evenings are spent writing eulogies. Tonight is no different. 

This one is for a man who absolutely loved DIY. There can't be a friend or family member whose home hasn't had his hand touch it in some way. 

I've been so moved recently by the depth of pure love in the families I'm so honoured to serve. It truly is the most priceless gift of all.
