Brighton Funerals

Be the star of your last hurrah!

Jess May is the UK’s First Living Wakes Specialist Celebrant.

She listens attentively, cares deeply and cheers you on like no one else!

A Living Funeral or a Living Wake is increasingly popular with people choosing not to have funerals but opting for Direct Cremations instead. With a Living Funeral the person who is nearing the end of their life gets to be a part of everything.

Jess has a distinctive relaxed and informal style with a focus on hearing and recording your stories. At the end of a Living Wake she will go home with all of your stories and create a 10 page keepsake book for you to use at a memorial or DIY funeral at a later date.

You can order copies for all the family!

Jess loves people and their stories and it gives her enormous joy to write them down as legacies and ensure that they are heard and that lives are celebrated as they should be.

For those who decide against traditional funerals this can be a great cost effective alternative without sacrificing on the healing power of connection and story telling.
