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.

Thinking About A Revolution
A question: Would you like your funeral in a church or at a crematorium? If you have a strong faith the answer will be obvious. But the number of weekly worshippers in the UK now stands at 12% and falling. So that leaves an awful lot of people - 88% - who are maybe less sure.
If I told you that the funeral service didn't have to be in either - that it could be conducted at home in the garden, at the golf club, in a farmers field in a marquee, would that change your mind? There is no legal constraint in the UK, other than you must have the permission of the person who owns the space.
