The Bow Tie Celebrant

welcome to the bow tie celebrant 

My name is Neal Thomas, and I am an 

independent modern funeral celebrant.

​

I am here to serve you & your family, to help you through this time & to work with you to create the most fitting tribute in a service that is as unique & special as the individual it honours.

 

Together, we can ensure your loved one receives a farewell that is as cherished and memorable as the life they lived.

​

If you put your trust in me, I promise to work tirelessly with you to craft a service your loved one would be proud of.

​

We will create the perfect

celebration of life.

about

about

I am a fully qualified, fully insured, independent celebrant.  I trained with the Academy of Modern Celebrants.

​

I don't do wedding or naming ceremonies, I chose exclusively to work with funerals and focus my whole energy into working with you to create the perfect service, the perfect celebration of life.

​

I work in Cambridgeshire.

Consultation With You & Your Family

​

The first thing we need to do is get together.  Here we can discuss the type of service you'd like.  I can help you shape this by outlining the options available.  We can talk about music, photos and - most importantly - what is to be said.

 

This is where I want to hear as much from you and from as many of the friends and family who we can get together to tell me about your loved one.  This meeting will be informal, I really just want to listen to your stories.  

 

We can then craft the perfect celebration of life, and come up with an Order of Service for the event.  I can liaise with those not present afterwards, and I can work with any friends or family who wish to speak at the service too - either in terms of drafting the words or delivering them, I am here to make this time as stress-free as possible under the circumstances.  It's a difficult enough time, so I will take all the stress of creating the ceremony off your hands. 

​

Writing The Complete Service

​

Based on our meetings, I will draft a full service and show you a full draft.  You have complete editorial control of this, so together we will ensure the end result is exactly what you want, and your loved one would be proud of.

​

Conducting The Service

​

I will deliver the exquisite service we have crafted, bringing all the elements that you have asked for together, any visual or musical tributes, and readings and ensuring the whole thing flows smoothly, professionally and without hitch.

We share our lives with our animals and their death can be as significant as that of any human we have cared for, because they have become an integral part of our family.  

​

I can work with you to shape the perfect

send off, a fitting farewell to your four legged friend, and a service to remember.

Please do watch the video to the right for a personal message from me along with a five minute funeral - a very cut-down version of a service, the full script of which can be downloaded here.

(please note the family graciously allowed me to post this script and use it as a basis for the video to the right.
