My first experience of a Humanist ceremony was at a funeral of a friend. I was amazed at how uplifting it was and to hear her life story was so cathartic. I wanted to become a Celebrant then, realising I was living their values anyway, but the timing wasn’t right.
My previous careers include the Women’s Royal Naval Service (WRNS), working for the Crown Office and Scottish Courts and recently the NHS. You could say the university of life!
I live in the lovely northeast town of Stonehaven where I love wild swimming and I’m lucky to have my family close by. I enjoy helping people and it would be my privilege to conduct a tailored service for you.

Funeral Testimonials
Hi Susan thank you very much for doing my mum and my family proud , my mum would have been delighted with what you delivered on behalf of my mum and the family xxx
Thank you so much for giving me your caring time and writing such a sensitive eulogy. I really appreciate it.
I was very pleased with the way everything went and your own personal contribution was certainly instrumental in making the service and the committal at the graveside a very dignified and thoughtful occasion. Many people were very complimentary about the manner in which you conducted yourself. I can’t thank you enough for your help and support in getting today’s service over the line so pleasingly for everyone. Your whole demeanour and tone was greatly admired. All the best in the meantime and thank you again most sincerely for your co-operation both in planning for today and for the service itself both in the Hall and at the churchyard too.
Oh me I’m in floods of tears again!! Your eulogy is absolutely perfect for my mum. It’s as if you knew her personally! You will do us all proud and bring me great comfort and peace on Friday so thank you so so much. I love the ending for graveside, it just finishes the service off nicely. I am absolutely delighted Cameron contacted yourself to conduct mum’s funeral service, I couldn’t have asked for a nicer, caring person who has written a lovely eulogy to celebrate mum’s life and her passing.
Dear Susan, on behalf of my family we would like to express our thanks for my mums funeral service yesterday. The Eulogy was caring, loving and a touch of humour. Everyone who attended commented on it being such a lovely service.
