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.
I have been undertaking funeral services both in the Chapel and by the graveside as well as at natural burial grounds since 2013 and have a great deal of experience in helping families come to terms with the loss of their loved one.
I 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. If you would like your family tree traced, please ask me for further details.
I am also a fully qualified woodwind music teacher and classically trained musician in flute, clarinet and saxophone. I am able to help you choose suitable music for your loved one. As an added extra I am able to offer musical services after the funeral service has taken place at the wake should you wish to book me.
If you would like to engage my services, please call me in the first instance on 07754 261 355, or please feel free to contact me via e-mail at:-
