🎩 On this day, 15 July 2013, we said goodbye to Mel Smith.

A brilliant British comedian, writer, and director, Mel Smith was half of the comedy duo "Smith and Jones". He helped shape 80s and 90s British humour with wit that still makes us laugh out loud today. Beyond the jokes, he reminded us that laughter is often what we remember most.

🕯️ What’s the one thing you’d want people to smile about when they remember you?

What would you want to be remembered for? 🌿

It’s a question many of us avoid not because we don’t care, but because it feels too big to answer.

But what if you could take control of your story? What if your final words, your favourite music, your thank-yous, your humour… were all part of the farewell your family hears?

At Forget Me Not Celebrant, I help you gently shape your own funeral service, in your own words, long before it’s needed. It’s not about being morbid. It’s about leaving love, not questions.

✨ Your voice. Your memories. Your way. ✨

This morning, I sat at my desk with a steaming cup of tea, the soft rustle of handwritten notes beside me, and the quiet hum of thought in the air.

Writing someone’s funeral service is never just about words. It’s about capturing a life the love, the laughter, the little quirks that made them them. It’s about creating something that feels true, personal, and deeply human.

I often pause and think, What would their family want to hear? What will help them smile through the tears? I also play the music choices as I feel that I can get to know the person a little better.

These moments at my desk aren’t glamorous. But they are meaningful. And I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

If you’ve ever thought about writing your own funeral service, or helping a loved one do the same, it’s not morbid — it’s a gift. A truly powerful one.

What small moment in your day helped you pause and reflect?

We may not be able to choose when we leave, but we can choose how we’re remembered.
Writing your funeral service ahead of time puts you back in control and takes pressure off your family.
Tomorrow’s blog post explores the deep personal reasons people choose to write their service in advance — and why it matters.

Out walking yesterday, I spotted these beautiful flowers and they stopped me in my tracks. A quiet little reminder to slow down, breathe, and simply notice the world around us.

In the rush of everyday life, it’s easy to forget how important it is to take time for ourselves. But moments like these remind me that movement isn’t just about ticking a box it’s about connection. To our body, our breath, our surroundings.

Whether it’s a stroll with the dog, a gentle stretch, or time spent outdoors, moving with intention can bring a surprising sense of calm and joy.

I’d love to know have you had a moment this weekend that made you pause and smile?

A Saturday well spent.
The chores are done, I’ve had a good coffee and catch-up with a friend, the food shop’s sorted, and I even squeezed in a peaceful dog walk. Then I treated myself to an Alien film marathon, because sometimes switching off is what helps us switch back on.

Time to rest, reflect and recharge. Life moves fast, and these quiet pauses remind me why it’s so important to capture the moments that matter.
