Our Services
Hi, I’m Sherry, and I’m here to help you mark life’s milestones. Based in Southend-on-Sea, I’m an accredited non-religious pastoral carer, trained with Humanists UK.
Pastoral carers are trained to listen and support with unconditional positive regard. Whatever people are going through, whatever they wish to share with us, we will be with them. Humanist pastoral carers are members of chaplaincy teams in hospitals, hospices and prisons throughout the UK.
Using my support skills, and over 20 years’ professional experience of public speaking, I can work with you to create special occasions for you and your loved ones. Occasions that celebrate life and, when necessary, help us to say goodbye. Your personally tailored ceremony can be as sensitive and serene or witty and entertaining as you wish!

Non-religious funerals and memorials Celebrate the life of a loved one with a tailor-made service, including readings and poetry that we can help you select.

Pet funerals
I’m a huge animal lover and I’m only too aware of the pain the passing of a beloved companion can cause. If you wish to hold a ceremony to celebrate and remember your pet, I would be delighted to help. A portion of my fee will go to an animal charity of your choosing.

Wedding and Partnership Ceremonies
Within England and Wales, non-religious weddings must be conducted by an official Registrar. However, many people choose to conduct the legal part of the wedding at a registry office and then enjoy a full non-religious ceremony at a location of their choice. Get in touch if you’d like to find out about a bespoke non-religious ceremony.
I can also create less formal ceremonies for those wishing to affirm their bond; such as renewal of vows and hand-fastings.
Baby-naming celebrations
Celebrate and welcome the newest member of your family with a life-affirming non-religious ceremony.

Fees
Prices will depend on duration and complexity of your tailored service. Get in touch today to discuss your needs.
