Carley Naden - Civil Celebrant

Because I've been leading civil ceremonies since 2017 I sometimes forget that not everybody has been to one before...
It still means the world when I am approached afterwards, with lovely feedback 💜

Springtime in the High Peak! Spotted my first lamb of the year and lots of gorgeous daffodils! 💛🐑💚

Each individual booking I take on is usually around 10 hours of work from start to finish. Bespoke ceremonies to do not write themselves! I put my heart and soul into my writing, and never use Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Planning in advance won't make it happen any sooner. If you would like to put some instructions together and have me write your story for you...
Please feel free to get in touch 💜

Funeral planning is often misunderstood.

It is not about being pessimistic. It is not about expecting the worst.

It’s simply about being organised, thoughtful and considerate.

It means recording your wishes clearly so your family is not left wondering what music you would have chosen, what type of service felt right, or whether burial or cremation was what you preferred.

It is an act of future love for your friends and family 💛

It really does mean the world to me, when people I've worked with, go out of their way to thank me, for helping them. It is always an honour and a privilege 💜

Grief doesn’t follow a straight path or a set timeline. It changes, returns, softens and sometimes feels overwhelming. However it shows up, your experience is valid and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

As I was getting ready for work today I heard a woman on TV saying that Crematoria "often have restrictions on what music can be played at funerals."
This is FALSE. You can have ANYTHING you want WITH a CELEBRANT! Classical, Jazz, Motown, Metal, Pop, Rap, Rock etc...
Though if you are considering something with explicit lyrics, you might be advised to choose a 'clean' version of it! 💜🖤
