Lucy Symons
Funeral Celebrant
I’m Lucy Symons and I work with families to help create a meaningful service at a time I recognise as being truly overwhelming. Families typically choose my assistance when they are not looking for a defined religious service but would prefer something personal and reflective.
Together we will create a tribute that best represents your family member’s life based on memories, milestones, turning points, music and anecdotes – the moments that helped to shape their life and character.
You may already have ideas as to what you would like to be said, but I know that it can be hard to know where to start or have the perspective to put things together in the best possible way. I can help you find a way to create something focussed and memorable.
I will work alongside you and provide suggestions for music, poetry and readings, to pull together all the elements that are needed to create a heartfelt and lasting memory.
Family members, friends or colleagues may wish to speak themselves, or if this feels too much, then I can speak for them. With a professional writing, presenting and arts background, I help to craft a service with you and create the right tone.
A little bit about me – I love to combine my love of the performing arts with a touch of comedy and sensitivity. Alongside being an actor (theatre, tv and performing at Edinburgh Festival each year), I am also the stadium announcer for the Corinthian Casuals Football Club! I also use my previous experience as a birth doula to provide ongoing support for new parents starting family life.
The team at White Rose will put us in touch, I’m here to help you.
Lucy
