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.

A Funeral Poem: "The Tyger" - William Blake
Yesterday, I lead a beautiful funeral service for Derrick - there was so much love in the room for this person, it really felt a heartfelt and special farewell - there were so many family and friends there to say goodbye. The reason for this post is that Derrick loved poetry and so we included some of his favourites in the ceremony. It is the first time I've been asked to read "The Tyger" by William Blake. It is a lovely poem to read aloud, so I share this with you, in tribute to Derrick.
