Here's a link to the Derbyshire Funerals video. Filmed by Brooklands Aerial Media at Stubbing Pond and Smithy Pond, Wingerworth, Derbyshire in January 2025. The video is an introduction to the services that I offer and explains the 'Life Story' concept that I've shared on this website.

You'll see some footage of me and my Mum, looking through some old photographs, sharing precious time together, making memories and creating a Life Story scrapbook. There's some drone footage over Bolsover Castle, Matlock Tor and Matlock Bath.

If you have any questions, if you think I can help, then please get in touch, thank you Anne

January 2025 update

If you're going through a tough time right now, I hope you're doing okay and the new year brings you some peace and comfort

I wrote a brief article about Humanist Funeral Ceremonies. It's about how Humanist funerals can be a meaningful way to celebrate the life of someone who has died. They can be tailored to the individual's beliefs and values, and can be a source of comfort for those who are grieving.

If you're interested in learning more about Humanist funerals, I would be happy to answer any questions you have.
