How every day's a school day, especially at my first funeral exhibition.

Why there needs to be a tiny funeral revolution. Kirstie Celebrant on forging a path through the funeral industry working in partnership and with the support of inspirational female funeral director, Helen Horne, who's Funeral Home, in Warrington Cheshire, is the epitome of the breath of fresh air that death and dying services need.

There are cures for many things. Death is not one of them.

Although adoption was always openly, often gloriously, spoken about it was (perversely) also Not A Massive Deal At All. There was no difference in the way any of us were treated by our parents and it never occurred to me that these three children, all here long before me, were anything other than my brothers and sister.

Because it really does take a village to raise a child, right?

So ……. it’s dead simple really. A celebrant is a person who works with you to make any ceremony completely personalised.
