About Just Wanted
Some of the funerals I attended over the years were rushed, short and detached – not adequate to mark the lives of those I’d known. It didn’t seem right. I want to make funerals mean what they should.
I try to write words that are worthy of the people they are trying to reveal – people who have left and people who remain.
Just Wanted can help to…
- Create and lead funeral ceremonies (fully qualified civil celebrant).
- Write tributes for family members to read at funeral ceremonies.
- Explore the idea of Fly on the Wall funerals and tributes, created for the living.
- Write your stories to leave to family and friends when you’ve gone – so many people have such interesting tales to tell but might not know how to tell them.
It is important to say the important things – I help people say them.
I have also been thinking recently about how much we miss by not caring for our dead ourselves. It really wasn’t so long ago when families watched over their loved ones until burial or cremation. I want to help, advise and support those who would wish to care for their dead themselves.
It just… seems important.
Currently in my forties, I am a happy lady in a Derbyshire family. I am willing to travel further afield if you live a way away, but I would need to cover my travel costs. We can make the most of technology / internet calls if necessary, but you can’t beat ‘in person’ communication.

"...this feeling came from the comforting awareness of the interwovenness of all human lives - the sense of their flowing into one another, the happy assurance that all that happened in the world took place not only on earth which buried the dead but also on some other level known to some as the Kingdom of God, to others as history and yet to others by some other name..."
