Beloved Celebrant for life centred Namings, Weddings and Funerals.

This is my new venture and it is the begining of a new and exciting journey for me. It is a venture that is all mine. For the first time in my life, I feel confident to make all my own decisions. Beloved is about individuality and it starts with my own independence.

I have recently completed the Diploma in Funeral Celebrancy with Anne Barbour of Civil Ceremomies Ltd in Cambridgeshire. That being one of the hardest, most challeging courses I have ever done. I had to dig really deeply, both intellectualy and socially, and there were times, especially on the residential part of the course, when I thought I wasn’t going be able to do it. I have surprised myself however, with my tenacity and I think this is testament to how much I want this to work. I am planning further training later in the year.

Celebrancy is about celebration, be this for the birth of a new baby, a romantic bonding, or to honour a life lived, now complete. We give thanks for the seasons of our lives through the gatherings we have to mark these occaisions. We may not be “church goers” and therefore don’t have a formal religious group to turn to for our more spiritual needs, and this is where Celebrancy can help.

Celebrancy, in my book, embraces us all in our secular spirituality. It says, if you want to celebrate with a poem and a hymm, or a folk song and a prayer, then it is up to you. There are a great many people out there who, like me are ‘lapsed’ from formal religion, but who retain a sense of wonder at the world and have a mixture of influences within them, it is a new way of being.

I have chosen to call myself ‘Beloved Celebrancy’ because the word beloved means ‘dearly loved’, and I like the way that sounds. I have chosen the image of a little wren as my logo because this bird represents my flight into independence. The wren, being a dimunutive brown bird with the most beautiful song, represents all of us and our innate individuality.
