My name is Eugene Matthias, I am an Independent Funeral Celebrant.

I have been trained by The Fellowship of Professional Celebrants and conduct Funeral and Memorial services in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and Hertfordshire. 

I support Families in their time of need, and am fully experienced in writing and officiating at bespoke Funeral Ceremonies.

As an independent funeral celebrant I am not tied to any religious faith structure for your service. I am happy to include whatever you want which can include Music, Readings, Poems, Tributes, Prayers, Dove releases and much, much more.  

I work closely with funeral directors making sure the service a special one for your family.

​​Messages of Thanks

I give my families the celebration they want.
Dad loved Only Fools and Horses, and his family wanted a very special celebration of life service to remember him.  
So I gave them what they wanted. 

I must point out the the real coffin was travelling behind with the limousine and hearse. The coffin on the top was made up by a local company he worked for.

Arranging a Funeral

Arranging a funeral is not easy – every service is different.

​I will help you to produce:
  • An Order of Service for the funeral director.
  • Agree a structure for the funeral service.
  • What will be included - music, readings, poems etc.
  • Who will be making a contribution/tribute.
  • Build a Eulogy for a loved one.
  • Produce the complete funeral service for your approval.
  • Conduct the service on the day.​
See my 'Everything You Need to Know' brochure below. 

​What is a funeral Celebrant?

A Funeral Celebrant is a dedicated professional who undergoes specialised training and certification to support grieving families during difficult times. Their role involves creating a customised funeral service that pays tribute to the personality and lifestyle of the departed individual.

I take great pride in my ability to craft a unique ceremony script that is meaningful and celebratory but also compassionate and dignified, effectively representing the deceased and providing solace to their grieving loved ones. 

In the past, families often had limited choices: a religious service in a church or a strictly atheist Humanist ceremony. However, as an Independent Celebrant, I provide a more inclusive option that allows for incorporating your personal faith and beliefs, whether religious, non-religious, spiritual, or uncertain, in bidding farewell to your loved one.
“To mourn a death - To celebrate a life - To bring comfort to the living”
