Kathryn Smith Independent Celebrant
Latest Reviews
Kathryn is the most wonderful person. Over the last year she has conducted the funeral service of both my mom and dad. Before each service Kathryn spent time getting to know the amazing people my mom and dad were. She captured them both perfectly. Speaking about them we were able to laugh and cry with Kathryn guiding the way. The service was just as we wanted it and helped put together with Kathryn by our side. I feel we were very lucky to have Kathryn with us through the sadness but also as someone we could share our memories with too

Well, what can I say??
Kathryn is such a warm, empathetic and special lady, providing such a valuable and professional service. She went above and beyond to make our gathering just perfect!
We had a Celebration of Life for our parents. Kathryn came to see us at home to discuss all of the details of exactly what we wanted. She immediately made us feel at ease and we happily shared memories and chatted for hours! She took down all of the details of their lives, their wider families, their interests, friends and holidays and composed a beautiful dedication to them. Her wonderful sense of humour shone through, and we all had laughter and tears…..Kathryn included 🥰
Everyone commented afterwards at what a beautiful service it was and how very impressed they were. Kathryn made everything so very special and we couldn’t have asked for better. She really is the best of the best!!
Some people just have something special that shines from within, and Kathryn is definitely one of them ❤️

Kathryn recently conducted the service for my uncle, who had sadly passed away at the age of 96. Kathryn was very helpful at this time and provided an excellent memorial service for him. From our first meeting to discuss potential arrangements and through to the final drawing of the curtain, she was professional and considerate throughout. Many thanks for all of the effort you put into making the day go well, from Jim & Rosemarie Wall.

I attended a funeral a few months ago at Sandwell Cremtorium, Kathryn was fantastic. Not only does she take time with the families and friends she did an amazing service with such compassion and is highly professional. I would not hesitate to request for her to do any funerals in the future.

Kathryn performed the service for my Mother's funeral at Mercia Forest crematorium and she was absolutely fabulous, cannot speak more highly of her and this was also the general consensus of other friends and family who attended and spoke to us afterwards. The contact prior to the day and information passed and received was immaculate and Kathryn's whole service on the day really made what was a very sad day seem like the perfect send off for Mom.
She spoke so well about Mom including a beautiful poem she suggested to us which was perfect on the day.
Kathryn is a genuinely warm person and I would recommend anyone to book her to speak on your behalf.
From my brother, myself, family and friends who attended mom's funeral service we all thank you so much.
Kind regards.

Kathryn performed a beautiful naming ceremony for our baby boy. We had several meetings with Kathryn before the service and everytime she was friendly,warm and welcoming. She made us feel at ease and like we had known her for years. She listened to our stories and memories and incorporated them lovely into our ceremony. All of guests commented on what a beautiful ceremony it was. Kathryn helped make it a day to remember. ❤️

Kathryn done the service for my mum and I can’t speak highly enough for her. Speaking about my mum she done her so much justice. There was laughter and there was tears and it’s because of how well Kathryn carried out the service, the way she spoke made it so stories that were funny came across funny and weren’t lost in a monotone voice. Not only was she fantastic during the service but the lead up to and gathering information about my mum she was fantastic she wanted to know everything and made it so natural and so comfortable for the family to tell stories about mum.

Kathryn was a blessing for us after our mom passing away, it was like we had always known her, she was so helpful and understanding. A funeral is a very sad and heartbreaking time, but we wanted to celebrate Mom’s long life. Kathryn knew exactly what we wanted, and although it may sound strange to many ,but everyone said what a lovely day it had been and that gave us great comfort ♥️

Gosh where to start with this very special lady!!!
I met Kathryn as she reached out to me when my dad passed, she had met and be friended my parents when they would walk by the canal! I spent hours in her time after turning up at her door talking about my beautiful dad! When I needed to pick someone to do the crem part of the service Kathryn stepped up and held my hand so to speak every step of the way.
She delivered a beautiful tribute and put so much heart into the service, it must have been hard for given she had known my dad.
She arranged for her friend to release doves as a surprise for me which was truly touching.
When my mom passed 3 days after my dad’s funeral Kathryn had been on hand to hold my hand once more. Everything she does is pure of heart with passion love consideration and a tenderness that is unique to her.
I will forever be grateful that she came into my life and delivered two beautiful services for my parents with so many little touches that only I knew about. I could never thank you enough 💗💗💗💗

What can I say.... My world was destroyed when I lost my beautiful wife at 41 years old to cancer. I had no idea of what to do with regards to the funeral and Kathryn was highly recommended by a family friend. She came to the house and spend a few hours with us trying to build a picture of her life. She delivered a fantastic service at the funeral including a heart melting eulogy. It felt like she knew her all her life and it felt very personal. I cannot thank Kathryn enough. Highly recommend.

Kathryn was chosen for us by the funeral company to be celebrant at my mother-in-law’s funeral so we did not know what to expect. We need not have worried, as she was brilliant. She spoke to us beforehand and got sufficient background info and did her own research to come up with a superb eulogy that sounded sincere and heartfelt. She was professional and caring throughout and many attendees commented on how good she was. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.
