"Unity Through Ceremony" Ceremonies are important to humans at key life and end of life events. As a celebrant, I commit to creating beautiful, inclusive and meaningful ceremonies that leave nobody behind. As a wedding celebrant, I give couples all my support and encouragement to turn
up as they truly are. Whether you think of yourselves as weird, quirky or ordinary, I want you to be your wonderful selves. You expressing your love meaningfully matters way more than following rules and convention. As a funeral and memorial celebrant, I care deeply about making sure people get the time and space they need to honour their loved one with all the tears and laughter they need. I am open to unusual approaches if they work for people, such as finding alternative venues that are comforting and familiar. I specialise in working with folk to plan their own funeral, encouraging them to consider all options while alive, including natural burial. That way, when a person dies, loved ones know exactly what to do. As a naming ceremony celebrant, I take time to listen and understand the situation in which a new name is being celebrated. Whether this is for a baby, child or adult, I am sensitive to the personal and cultural significance of the naming ceremony for the individuals and families involved. As part of my celebrant practice, I run a community initiative called Solidarity Ceremonies to help tackle funeral poverty. I take every opportunity to highlight this concerning issue and push for change. I am hard-wired to do so as, before becoming a celebrant, I worked for many years running community, organisations. Folk in communities have been holding ceremonies since before church and state even existed. I believe the purpose of coming together is to honestly reflect the identities and beliefs of people at the heart of the ceremony. I am trained, qualified and insured to hold weddings and vow renewals, funerals and memorials and (re)naming ceremonies and so much more. If you consider me for your special gathering, I will do all I can to give you the best of what I have to offer. Based in South Shields I cover North East England. I am happy to travel further afield if you feel I am the celebrant for you. You can DM, message through my website www.katemukungucelebrant.com or email [email protected] .
