Andrew Turnbull Dip.FD Independent Funeral Celebrant

Andrew Turnbull Dip.FD Independent Funeral Celebrant As an Independent Funeral Celebrant, I specialise in crafting personalised funeral services.

I collaborate closely with families to honour their loved one's life, ensuring the ceremony reflects cherished memories and meets their unique needs. Since 2008, I have been dedicated to funeral services, gaining a profound understanding of supporting grieving families during their most difficult times. As an Independent Funeral Celebrant, a role I find both rewarding and fulfilling. My approach is to create personalised funeral service that honours the life of a loved one. By working closely with families, reflecting on cherished memories, and using words and music, I tailor ceremonies to meet their unique needs. This process not only commemorates their loved ones life, but also supports the grieving process for those left behind. I possess a nationally recognised Diploma in Funeral Directing from the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Professional Leadership and Management from the University of Lincoln, which I achieved while working full-time. In my career, I have had the privilege of officiating services at various local crematoria, including those in Lincoln, Lea Fields, Sherwood Forest, Boston, Grantham, Alford, Scunthorpe, and Mansfield, as well as conducting graveside services at numerous cemeteries.

When someone we love leaves this world, it’s not death that shatters us.
It’s everything that follows.

The empty chair. The unanswered calls.
The birthdays they’ll never celebrate, the dreams they’ll never chase.
It’s the memories that sneak up on us, the songs that suddenly feel too heavy to hear.

It’s the words we never said, and the moments we thought we had more time for.
It’s passing by their favourite places and realising they’re not just gone…they’re nowhere.
Their laughter fades, their hopes disappear, and their life…a life still unfinished, becomes a story we can only tell in past tense.

We question everything.
Did we love enough?
Could we have held on a little tighter?
But deep inside, we know, some goodbyes are written long before we’re ready.

When someone you love leaves, part of you leaves too.
A part you can never rebuild, a chapter you can never rewrite.
What remains is the hollow space they once filled…a silence that stretches on forever.
And sometimes, it’s not the goodbye that hurts the most…
It’s the life that should have continued…but didn’t.

A lovely message received today…

Good afternoon Andrew,
Just wanted to say a huge thanks to you for all your hard work and kindness dealing with the planning and presentation of the funeral service for a very dear friend, Kath Waller.

I personally wanted you to do the service following on from the “poem” incident. Your charisma and calming voice got me through the nightmare that you helped avert.
I said to friends and family prior to the start that you were the perfect celebrant to give Kath a fitting send off and you didn’t disappoint.

We are all often too quick to complain and criticise about others and their work and not usually a nation that complements and forwards praise for a job well done.

My best wishes
Neil
