Love is always there. So how can you celebrate love when someone has died? Particularly now, when attendance at funerals is very restricted. One way is with a memorial. ❤️

How does a memorial differ from funeral?
The body is not present at a memorial(although the ashes may be).

So why have a memorial?
(1)So that when things ease up, you can have it where (in your home, a hotel, a barn, a favourite place, your choice!) and when and for how long you choose. Later on you should be able to include more people. It gives everyone a chance to say goodbye, express their love and share their memories.🥰

(2) It gives you time. You’ll have time to plan how to celebrate and to talk to others about memories of your loved one ... it can be a helpful part of the grieving process.🥰

(3)A memorial often has a more relaxed and informal feel than a funeral. Grief can be lonely. A memorial is a great way to bring people together, and whilst it’s a time of sadness, it’s sometimes easier to find and feel the joy and laughter too.🤗

Does a memorial need someone official to organise it?
No it can be as informal and DIY as you like - for instance just a picnic on the beach or a few words with a toast. You can organise it yourselves.
Or you can ask a celebrant to help plan and deliver a ceremony.🥰

If you want to read about a memorial I recently delivered it’s on my website, so go to my profile for my website address. If you want any help with a memorial or just to ask me any questions, feel free to get in touch ( with absolutely no obligation). I’d be only to happy to talk. 🤗

Take heart. If your wedding day has been postponed or cancelled, how about marking that day and finding ways to make it special?💫
It’s understandable if you’re feeling a sense of loss, a kind of grief. Acknowledging this and planning to celebrate the original date in a meaningful way could be a positive and exciting move.💫You can plan a day with just the two of you or you can involve a few of your future guests via Zoom. You might even want a mini-ceremony led by a celebrant.💫
If you need any ideas, feel free to ring me with any questions (with absolutely no obligation). I’d love to help you make this difficult time feel more hopeful and happy. 💫A joyous Nearly Wedding Day and one which will feel almost as good, if not as good as the Day itself!!!💫

Let’s hang onto it - let’s hang onto hope🙏Can’t believe this was only last Thursday at Battersea Arts Centre, London. It’s now temporarily closed like so many arts venues up and down the land.😞

Let’s hope this message keeps shining on. We need the Arts. And we definitely need hope in huge hugfuls (virtual hugfuls of course!) 🥰

We all need hope. And Emily Dickinson’s poem suggests hope is strong, inspirational and tenacious. Thank goodness!

What it says on the tin - it’s dead good👍 . I absolutely recommend it. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟It’s about the best ways to celebrate lives lived. It’s moving and joyful and thoughtprovoking.🙏
It’s also set in my amazing city and at the local crematorium where I often work (as a celebrant)... And I loved the music 🎼 and the beautiful photography🎥. Go on, watch it! Go to , click on the profile to access the film on Vimeo or go online to www.vimeo/on demand/deadgoodfilm 🌟

Last year when I first saw it, the film had limited distribution so it’s great it can now be seen online.😊

It’s the 29th February. 😊You could be thinking ‘There’s too much month for the money’ 😳or...
You could be full of excitement as you’re going to propose today (or maybe your partner might - who knows?).❤️🥰🍾🤩⭐️
Go for it! Then call or email me to book a wedding ceremony which sings with love and fun.😊💝

I look a tad more Easyjet than Celebrant I fear!🤣 I caught my reflection in my rear view mirror and realised that I looked like I should be pointing out the emergency exits!
After so much rain, I wanted to dress to inject some colour into a Celebration of Life last week. I needn’t have worried though. The Loved One herself had made sure the ceremony had colour by leaving some brief instructions. Controversially (for guests who were Away supporters) she asked us to cheer on the Brighton Seagulls - guests (Away supporters included!) saw the funny side and agreed it was a perfect way to remember her unique character.

To those who don’t know me, I’m going to re-introduce myself. I’m Julie, Julie Bennett or Celebrant Julie B. Hello! I offer heartfelt personalised ceremonies - weddings, civil partnerships, namings and funerals and memorials. 🥰

This testimonial recently popped into my inbox. It conveys how I can communicate love and joy even in challenging circumstances:

‘Julie was an absolute godsend when my client ( who has a learning disability) lost her mum.
She was kind and patient, explaining what would happen every step of the way, as well as arranging a prior visit to the chapel for her. Her warm manner, at what was a difficult time, drew out happy memories and information from my client and her mum’s’ friends.

Julie’s delivery of the service was thoughtful, warm and so considerate of my client’s needs and level of understanding. I can not recommend Julie enough: she was warm, kind and professional throughout.’ Anna

I’m friendly, welcoming, warm, thoughtful, creative, communicative, dedicated, sociable, fun, humorous, colourful, sincere, understanding, inclusive and professional. I’ll do an amazing job for you!

Honing my skills for wedding celebrations with this merry band of celebrants. I’m so excited to be joining this group in April. And .celebrant. Can’t wait.🌟
I had no idea what handfasting was two years ago - Now I know more, I would have loved it to be part of my wedding. Maybe I’ll have to have a vow renewal just so I can experience my own handfasting!🌟

Do you know what handfasting is? Was it part of your wedding celebrations?
