Fay Freemantle

I am proud to be a member of the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants, practising in the Berkshire/Berkshire Borders area and covering the chapels at Aldershot, Basingstoke, Thatcham, Slough, Reading and Wokingham.

I’m a grandmother and a mother, a musician and an educator. I have counselling skills and have volunteered in the past for CRUSE Bereavement Care.

My particular expertise is in dementia and I am able to advise families on issues arising.

I aim to offer families a creative, compassionate and unique service and am happy to conduct both Christian and secular celebrations of life, and to incorporate elements from other faiths and belief systems should families wish it. And I’m available to talk through your ideas, with no obligation.

You can see some testimonials below:

You were right. You said it would be beautiful, and it was, and I cannot thank you enough for orchestrating today’s send off for our precious Louise. You guided through the planning and execution of the whole service with tenderness and understanding. The result was just what we wanted – and more.

Thank you again for officiating my father’s service. You were amazing and we were so happy with your choices for the poems and the kind eulogy that you wrote.

We just wanted to say thank you so much for all your hard work creating such a lovely funeral service for Mum. Everybody commented on how nice it was and I know the children were especially interested in hearing all about Nana’s life story.

You did a superb job: you should be proud.

I for one, am just glad that what I thought would be a difficult ceremony due to Jane’s lifestyle and personality was bright and light, and full of fond memories. We couldn’t have done it without you.
