Funeral Ceremonies

Welcome. My name is Beth Maguire and I offer funeral, memorial and ash scattering ceremonies across York and Yorkshire and Humber as an accredited independent celebrant with The United Kingdom Society of Celebrants.

As an independent funeral celebrant, I am here to support you and share the story of those you have lost, celebrating their lifetime achievements and the things they were proud of, their humour and their authentic selves, creating a bespoke ceremony which you can look back on and feel at ease and safe in the knowledge you have shared the life and legacy of your loved one with their families and friends.

I have always loved people’s stories, listening to the memories they have of families, friends and loved ones, and capturing the essence of their personalities is my speciality. Each ceremony I design is created with family and friends, unique and custom-made, and is an authentic reflection of the individual's life and values.

You will usually be sent the details of your celebrant by the funeral director as part of their service, but you can also request a specific celebrant if you prefer. If you have any questions about what an independent celebrant can offer, please contact me directly and we can arrange a call.
