Emma Curtis

Hello, I’m a secular minister, celebrant and pastoral counsellor offering a fully supported process to create highly bespoke ceremonies with professional bereavement support to carry those left behind through the ceremony and beyond.

Whilst I mostly create and officiate funeral and memorial ceremonies, I also ‘do the happy stuff’, I love working with couples and families to create exactly the ceremony that they need.

I teach continuing professional development for the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants and offer training and mentoring one2one to celebrants in the UK, Europe and the USA through CelebrantSupport.com. I was awarded the National Celebrant’s Award 2018 for Influencing the wider profession in funeral celebrancy, and I’m still thrilled to bits.

If you like opera you might have fun putting ‘Emma Curtis Contralto’ into google, youtube or spotify – after 30 years as a soloist on international stages there’s a bit out there to listen to, if that’s your kind of thing. You could also add ‘The Frolick’ which is my band.

Useful info: I’m a cognitive behavioural hypnotherapist and a grief specialist, for those who need extra support. I’m always happy to coach those who would like some help preparing speeches, tributes, poems or songs, and I speak German, French and Italian.
