https://www.tiktok.com//photo/7622810875338050838?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Thanks to one of my bestest buddies Jo Jo for sending me loads of old photos yesterday. They made me so emotional and put me in a real reflective mood. People often ask about the path that brought me to this vocation, there aren't enough words to explain.

Thanks also to Clare Gelderd for capturing my mood on the Cumbrian weather yesterday 🤣 Seize the day every day folks ! The Birds & The Bees - Celebrant Services, Cumbria & North West Kerrie Low

Its an interesting concept that some people think 'you aren't coping with workload' or 'you are disorganised' or 'not balancing work with life' just because they see me post things at night and work weekends.

The truth is, I am self employed and I can set my hours to suit.

Love, Life and Loss certainly does not exist on a 9 - 5 basis. I never know what the next phone call will bring.

My couples and families can connect with me whenever they need to, if I am available, I will respond, If I am not then I will respond as soon as I can - because I can and because I want to.

What people who make assumptions do not see is the behind the scenes of my work. Possibly they may not understand that creativity is also something that doesn't just switch on and off at 9 - 5 because their work is routine, schedule or template driven.
My work is completely different every single time I pick up a call or an email..............the work that follows will make EVERY single meeting and ceremony different.

So, if that means my brain doesn't want to or finds itself unable to write the right thing or create the right ritual during daylight hours then I will down tools and go for a hike or I may go shopping or to see a friend for a coffee, heck I may even stay in bed and have a good sleep until I am ready, reset and restored to create what is right.

It has been said before and I am sure it will be said again 'It doesn't matter how I get there, as long as I get there'.......... and so on that note, I shall now go to bed with a full heart after a beautiful, private ashes ceremony today, ready to deliver a Lake District wedding tomorrow in the afternoon then write a funeral in the evening after a hearty dinner.

If you ever wonder why people choose to work the way they do - just remember ............You do you, I do me and I will serve all those who trust in me to care about their ceremonies and services with a genuine passion for The Birds & The Bees - Celebrant Services, Cumbria & North West because it is not 'Just A Job' to me. xx

The face behind the ceremonies.

I represent most of the Funeral Directors in Carlisle and have delivered funerals for FD’s in Glasgow, Ormskirk, Liverpool, Durham, Blythe, London and Dubai.

Not many families will know I’m actually independent and self employed meaning families can engage my services directly as well as through their FD.

Get to know your local Celebrants - let’s make it OK to talk.
With Love
Kerrie xx

Yes we can drink champagne or raise or toast during a funeral service, yes we can play air guitar if its appropriate, yes we can bring visual / meaningful items to sit alongside our loved ones if we want to, YES WE CAN DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY ......... I will take great care of you as we weave through how to create a funeral service fitting for the person who has gone and the loved ones left behind.

Reviews are such a sensitive topic, especially reviews of work relating to funeral services. However, when a family take the time to send in such kind and beautiful words amidst their grief, It really touches me that they are even thinking of me at that time.

It is nice to show others just how much the impact of having the right Celebrant deliver your loved ones service can have. Your Funeral Directors will hopefully take the time to know their local celebrants but always remember, you do have the freedom to choose your own if you know and trust a Celebrant already.

'Dear Kerrie, we just wanted to thank you so much for your role as our Celebrant at the funeral, it was certainly a highlight of our collective tribute to 'M' on the day.

I know 'M's family also wanted me to pass on their thanks for not only your reading, but also your subtle personal Irish touches which were recognised and appreciated by everyone.

The fact that you held my mother's attention throughout the service was also testament to your professionalism and understanding of her condition.

Thank you once again and I want to wish you well with The Birds & The Bees - I’m sure that Tracy from@Final Journey Funerals will be keen to recommend your services in future.'

How many times have you said 'Oh I want this song played at my funeral.....!'

How do those left behind know?

Just one of the many conversations not only to be had with friends and family but get in touch with your local Celebrant, go for a coffee and a chat to find out more about how music can be chosen, what systems can be used, who controls the music etc.... It can make a for a fascinating cuppa once we get chatting.

With Love
Kerrie
