The Solent Celebrant

Fiona conducted my Mum’s funeral in December 2021 with such warmth and empathy that when my dad died in September 2022 I unhesitatingly knew that there was only one person I wanted to talk with to create a fitting celebration of my dad’s remarkable life. Fiona’s genuine interest in my lovely Dad’s personality and life story was borne out in the sensitive way she conducted the service with sincerity, tenderness and humour.I highly recommend Fiona as a celebrant who can be trusted absolutely to deliver an appropriate, personalised ceremony.

Fiona is so kind, thoughtful and easy to talk to. Highly recommended

I could not think of anyone better to have to help celebrate or commemorate the milestones in life. Fiona, really cares, she takes a personal interest in you, and your loved ones, creating a uniquely personal service.

I found Fiona when searching for a celebrant for my Dads funeral. Mum and I both spoke to her on the phone before arranging a meeting where she captured lots of stories about my Dad to enable her to write a beautiful and accurate tribute. The tone was perfect and she conducted the whole ceremony exactly as we wished. Many people commented afterwards that is was a particularly lovely service. I would highly recommend Fiona to anyone looking for a celebrant in the area.

Fiona spent time asking me questions about my dear mum in a very respectful and sensitive way, questions that made me think of things I probably wouldn't have initially mentioned in a eulogy but that worked well. The service was conducted in a very professional yet personal way, so important to get it right on the day.

Fiona is an insightful, caring celebrant with a professional dedication to writing eulogies.

It must be so difficult to take the thoughts and memories of grieving relatives and make it sound personal and sincere, even though you've never met the person you're talking about, but Fiona did that superbly for my family.I thoroughly recommend her.

I recently used Fiona The Solent Celebrant for my mum's funeral and she was absolutely fantastic.She visited me and my family at a time that suited us and spent a lot of time really getting to know and understand the person she was whilst she was alive. There was absolutely no rush and she asked really clever and sensible questions to elicit the information.The eulogy she wrote and delivered was absolutely brilliant and captured wholeheartedly the person my mum was. It was delivered in a clear and concise manner and everyone attending and viewing on web cast mentioned how well it was delivered. Fiona was also there to support through the process as this was all new to me. She was the most clear and knowledgeable person in the process that helped me understand what happens when and I really feel as a celebrant should be paid more than she is for what she does.Fiona also provided a short piece to use at the scattering ceremony and again this was well worded and a beautiful final send off.So a massive thank you from me, you made me feel very reassured in a difficult time.
