HELLO, I’M JONATHAN

A dedicated and independent funeral celebrant based in London.

After university, I spent more than 25 years in the music industry where I feel privileged to have met and worked with people from many different backgrounds, faiths and walks of life.

My celebrant journey began in 2014 when i was speaking to a close friend about a possible career change. Knowing me as someone who thrives on helping people, has excellent public speaking skills, an easy voice to listen to as well as a compassionate manner, she immediately suggested I might love this vocation. As it has turned out, she was so right and I’ve never looked back! 

Over the last decade, I feel truly honoured to have been asked to officiate at over 2400 services during which time I have honed my skills to become the celebrant that I am today.

I am committed to creating a meaningful and personalised service of farewell for each and every family who entrusts me with the task of officiating a service of farewell for them. 

Having lost my mother as well as two siblings over the last five years, this has given me an even deeper empathy for those who have suffered bereavement. I hear you, I join you and I support you.
