About Me

Heartwood Ceremonies - Humanist / non-religious Celebrant based in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, South Wales. Funerals. Celebrations of Life. Living funerals.

If you have found me here, it is likely that you are facing an overwhelm of difficult decisions, at a time when you feel least able to face them. My name is Jenny, I am a non-religious celebrant accredited by Humanists UK, and I hope I can support you to make this journey as easy as it can be.

Every life, every person is unique. I work closely with families and friends to ensure that every person is given a tribute that recognises them as the one of a kind that they were. I meet with the people who loved them, we tell stories, and I get to know them as fully rounded, complex human beings who lived and loved. I then craft a ceremony that reflects them in all their glory and your relationship to them. The results are often joyful and full of warmth, whilst acknowledging and making space for the pain and sadness in the room. 

Nothing can ‘make it all ok’, but I believe a funeral service can offer an important step in learning to live alongside your grief. If you would like to find out more, or I can help you in this process in any way, please do get in touch.
