Losing a loved one, friend or relative can be a traumatic experience in anyone’s lifetime.
Instead, turn the sadness and turmoil of losing your loved one into a celebration of their life by ensuring that their memory lives on in their loved ones and friends.
By giving them the send-off that they truly deserve, and tailoring a suitable memorial service to their or even your wishes, you can include tributes, memories, poetry and music, which can highlight how special that person really was.
Every ceremony is thoughtfully tailored to reflect the life, personality, and wishes of your loved one with warmth, care, and compassion.
Celebrate treasured memories through heartfelt tributes, meaningful readings, favourite music, and personal stories that honour a life well lived.
I am here to guide and support you every step of the way, helping to make the process as comforting and stress-free as possible.
My name is Kylie Barnes. I am an Independent Civil Funeral Celebrant and have been trained by, and am a member of the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants. I am also a member of the Association of Independent Celebrants.
Since 2013, I have been undertaking funeral services both in the Chapel and by the graveside as well as at natural burial grounds. I understand that this is a difficult time, and I am here to guide you every step of the way with compassion and professionalism. From personalized tributes to seamless arrangements, my goal is to ensure that your loved one’s legacy is honoured beautifully.
I can officiate at all crematoria, and by the graveside and I provide families with funeral services specifically written to their wishes. I cover the areas of Southeast London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and Essex. I also travel further afield if required.
I was born in Perth, Western Australia in 1972 and have lived in London since the age of 12. I have a vast knowledge of genealogical research spanning some 25 years and can often incorporate my research into your loved one’s service.
