Last Word Celebrant is the blog for Andrew Jackson, an independent funeral celebrant based in beautiful countryside between Bristol and Bath. I conduct funeral ceremonies for families looking for a personal and heart-felt farewell for their loved one. I take time to listen, find out what ideas the family may have and then help to compose a ceremony that is moving and memorable. I am also available for handfasting wedding ceremonies in the Bristol, Bath and Somerset area.
