Lyndsey - Independent, Civil Celebrant

Lyndsey - Independent, Civil Celebrant Fun loving, kind & compassionate Celebrant. Writing and delivering bespoke ceremonies to remember. https://linktr.ee/lyndseycelebrant

Are you planning a special celebration ceremony or faced with the need to plan a final farewell of a loved one. A celebrant led ceremony allows you to personalise your life event. You are not restricted by time of day, location or content of the ceremony. We can work together to add readings, music and symbolic additions to make your day one to remember. As a professional modern celebrant trained to the highest UK standard with Civil Ceremonies Ltd. you can be assured to receive a professional, friendly service. My values in life are, kindness, compassion, understanding and acceptance that we can all have different beliefs/viewpoints. I am patient and like to find enjoyment in the little things in life. I always try to find the positive in a situation. I’m 100% dedicated to my role as a celebrant. My goal is to spend as much time necessary to genuinely learn about you. I will get to know your relationship and values and beliefs and write a ceremony that is a true representation of you. I am very creative and love how my mind can come up with unique and personal touches to tie in with a person’s wishes/dreams for their ceremony. I have excellent creative writing skills and will work with you, during a one-to-one appointment to get as much information as I can to ensure that the ceremony is a true reflection of you, your family and your beliefs. With the option of added symbolic elements, such as sand ceremonies, tree planting, candle lighting, dove/butterfly release, plus many many other options, we can create a beautiful ceremony to celebrate your special event. Vow renewal, wedding celebrations, civil partnerships, gender confirmation, naming ceremonies, funeral, memorial, internment of ashes.

I'm Lyndsey, a 40 something full time celebrant and I now live in Bletchley having raised my two daughters in Leighton Buzzard and grown up myself in Dunstable.
I'm now married to a pretty amazing man and between us we have five children, (11, 16, 19, 21, 22) and they all still live with us so it's a busy home! I worked in publishing for around 13 years then in education locally before training with civil ceremonies to become a celebrant. It was the best move I ever made! My work combines all my favourite things, creative writing, talking (hehe), helping others, meeting new people and even history - I get to find out so much about the history of the area I live in, sometimes the world, as I learn about people's stories. In my spare time I love going to the theatre. I'm a cat lover - we have five! I am also a self confessed coffee and wine snob!
I'm passionate about educating others on death, dying and most importantly the choices available to them! I chat to lots of people about their funeral wishes, far in advance of when they are actually needed and I am always here if you'd like to find out more.

Thank you to everyone who’s followed my posts this week which lead us to today where I’ll end the week answering some of the many questions I’m asked during my work as a funeral celebrant. It’s a busy day for me today but keep an eye out on my stories!

This week has been so incredibly busy that there’s been no time to write in the day.
Tomorrow sees funeral celebrant day 2025 and I will be spending most of it in the chapel doing what I love most. Today has been quite a reflective day for me, delivering a service that for one reason or another has sat with me a lot deeper than most do. This evening I’m feeling very thankful for my amazing family, my friends who I really don’t see enough of and for my beautiful home where I often sit and await inspiration for the many scripts I write each year. Bumble the bee (can you spot him?) is not being too helpful this evening as I create a ceremony for a lady who reached an amazing 102 years!

What are your thoughts on direct cremation? Do you know what it is? I’m getting more and more calls from families asking me to out together a memorial service or extended ashes interment services to help them process their grief and provide a sense of closure to one part of their long journey through grief - so I’ve decided to open up the discussions… message me with your questions or thoughts and I’ll post some next week cremation

It’s been an incredibly busy month so far, but no matter how hectic things get, I never lose sight of how meaningful my work truly is. Every service I write and deliver plays a vital role in a family’s grieving process. Every word I choose matters deeply, and the way I speak those words can have a lasting impact on everyone present. That’s why receiving feedback like this from families means so very much to me.

Bierton's Christmas Memorial Service is held on Sunday 7th December this year. All are welcome. They are always lovely events and offer a warm safe space for anyone who would like to come along and remember a loved one. They also have a visual tribute memorial, you can contact Bierton for more information. I've been invited to share a few words (I promise not to sing!).
It would really be lovely to see lots of local families there, please spread the word x

West street cemetery, Dunstable, in the sunshine.
40 years ago I stepped foot into an amazing lower school, a school that I have such fond memories of. I was taken under the wing of some amazing teachers. One of the most special teachers I met introduced me to singing, playing music, crafts and reading - today I was given the absolute honour to support her family as we said farewell ❤️❤️❤️
