The White Chair

Independent celebrants for funerals and baby namings

Births and deaths both need marking with a special ritual. Traditionally the ritual was religious; but it doesn't have to be.

We provide tailor-made ceremonies: funerals that recall the essence of the person who's died, and baby-namings that express the family's hope for the child's future.

We also offer counselling for bereaved family and friends.

we've taken the name of a beautiful poem by the late Ken Smith. Click here to read it.
