Trevor Carter
Funeral and memorial celebrant
I became a celebrant because I want to create and deliver memorable ceremonies that "capture the essence" of the deceased person. I feel this is crucial to helping people through the difficult process of bereavement.
The skills involved are those I have cultivated and honed to a high standard in a variety of professional roles: award-winning poet and storyteller, teacher and trainer. I have also done voluntary work for Bristol Victim Support and Age UK. I love hearing stories, reading stories and writing stories; and every life is a story to tell.
“I thought your speech and the way you delivered it was fantastic
and helped make a difficult day special, thank you”
Glynis Dalton
I am committed to providing exactly the sort of ceremony the family requires;
which may or may not include religious content. I welcome all faiths and none.
My aim is to create a ceremony that accurately reflects the life of the person you have lost,
a ceremony that is all about them in any style you have in mind.
I trained as a celebrant with Humanists UK and am now a member of the
Association of Independent Celebrants.

The number of mourners allowed at funerals is currently limited. Your funeral director or celebrant can advise on this. If you are interested in having a memorial service at a later date I will be happy to discuss this with you. Memorial services provide an opportunity for those who could not attend the funeral to be included. I would happy to talk to you about this option.
