Funeral Celebrant | Dorset
Martin Hiles
Creating A Funeral Service
I will support and guide you in creating a beautiful, heartfelt funeral, memorial service (often after direct cremation) or ashes scattering service.
With you through every step of the way, I craft a unique service reflecting your loved one's character and how they touched the lives of all those who shared their love and friendship.
I lead the service at a crematorium, woodland burial ground, cemetery hotel or special venue that you choose.
Every funeral or memorial service is all about your wishes and your beliefs - I am independent and not a humanist or member of any faith group.
Of course tears may be shared but most of us would want to be remembered with some smiles too. I hope the ceremony will be a first step on the way to healing.
Non-religious or Partly religious
Your beliefs and values must be at the heart of the ceremony. A non religious funeral or partly religious service is entirely your choice.

Modern or Traditional
Martin will find the music you would like, help choose poetry or readings and, for partly religious services, help choose any prayers or hymns.
A slideshow of photos set to music paints a thousand words and we can often webcast live on the internet or record the service for family and friends who are unable to attend.
Whether modern or traditional, Martin will help you honour your loved one with dignity, celebrate their life and give them a beautiful farewell.
Martin mainly covers the Poole and Wimborne area but can travel beyond by arrangement. Serving families across Dorset, he works closely with funeral directors to create personal, non-religious and semi-religious ceremonies, guiding families through the planning of tributes and the crematorium service.
