Sarah Chapman

Professional Celebrant based in the south west of England

In 2012, I trained with Civil Ceremonies Ltd. and have a NOCN Level 3 Diploma in Funeral Celebrancy (RQF) and the NOCN Level 3 Diploma in Naming and Couples Celebrancy (RQF)

I am a member of End of Life Doula UK and now teach on the Living Well Dying Well Foundation Course which explores many of the issues in relation to death, dying and the end of life of which we all should be aware.  Becoming more knowledgeable will give you the confidence to be able to support family or friends or as a volunteer in your community.

My book, Funeral Arranging and End of Life Choices, a Step by Step Guide, was published by Troubador Press/The Book Guild in June 2022.

In my professional life I have performed and taught drama and music, facilitated Singing for Memory sessions (for people with early dementia), directed choirs on land and on a cruise and I am privileged to be a mother and grandmother.

I am warm, loyal, reliable and friendly and a good listener.  I love my job and, as a Celebrant, I believe that your Ceremony is at the very heart of your day.  I am also creative and will help you create and then conduct your unique and individual Ceremony where ever and whenever you wish.

All you need to do is choose the time, place, guests and style, and I will create vows, readings and words so that they are perfectly suited for you, your family and your friends.

You can include symbolic and traditional rituals and also spiritual or faith-based beliefs in your ceremony.

Together we will create meaningful memories, which will bind you closer and give joy to all the special people on your special day.
