About Liana..
Hello
Thank you for visiting my website.
I am a compassionate and empathetic funeral celebrant, who has a real understanding of the importance of creating a personal and meaningful funeral.
I am a fully qualified and accredited civil funeral celebrant, trained by an Ofsted outstanding provider. I am a member of The Institute of Civil Funerals, a professional body, within the funeral industry. So you will be in safe hands with me.
As a funeral celebrant, this gives me the opportunity to serve the people of my community, and beyond, and play a supportive role in their lives in times of grief.
I have lived in Runcorn for 40 years, and it is now the place I call home. I'm originally from Liverpool, and I'm glad to say I haven't lost my Scouse warmth or humour! I am a wife, a mum to three grown up children, and a nanna to nine beautiful grandchildren.
As in any family, we have experienced loss, I know what its like when you lose a loved one, and how overwhelming it can be, not just navigating the grief, but all the other elements to a death, and organising a funeral, with an endless list of 'to do's'.
If you are visiting this website in a time of loss, please reach out and I will help you all I can in this difficult time, I have a real passion for celebrancy, and I promise to support you with your funeral arrangements, and together we can ensure that your loved one has the best possible send off you could wish for.
With love
Liana
Let me help you capture those memories of a loved one with a bespoke funeral ceremony...
Creating a beautifully crafted funeral
for your loved one...

We will work together to create a ceremony blending your memories and reflections of a life that has been lived in its glorious uniqueness.
As a professionally trained funeral celebrant I will endeavour to craft a truly personal funeral ceremony, that is exactly how you wish it to be.
I am able to conduct ceremonies with a reference to faith or entirely secular. The choice, as always is yours to decide, to give you the funeral you envisage.
I will meet with you to discuss the ceremony, listen with quiet empathy and understanding of what you want, and your ideal vision for your goodbyes.
You will be able to check the ceremony before hand, and make any
alterations or amendments to the script, to construct a truly perfect farewell.
You will be presented with a full text of the ceremony afterwards as a treasured keepsake.

What you can expect from me as your funeral celebrant
Before the funeral
Once you have appointed me, I will arrange a meeting in your home or at the funeral directors.
When we meet, it will give us chance for you to share the life story of your loved one, and what they meant to you and
others.
I will take notes as you share your memories with me, enabling me to create a true reflection of their life.
We can discuss music, readings and poems for the service, I can help you with ideas if you wish.
Within 36 hours of our meeting, I will craft a unique and distinctive tribute, reflecting your loved one's life that captures the essence of who they were.
I will send you a draft copyof the tribute as soon as it is done, to ensure that you are completely satisfied with its content. This also enables you to add or omit any content you wish.
On the day of the funeral
I will be there to meet you at the venue, I will be there to assist and support you and help you anyway I can, through a difficult and emotional day.
I will have worked closely with the funeral director, and chapel staff, to ensure the day goes smoothly.
I will conduct the ceremony with the utmost care and attention.
After the ceremony I will wait outside for you and assist you if you need me.
As you leave I will bid you farewell.
After the funeral
I will send you a copy of the tribute in a presentation folder as a treasured keepsake.
