Circle Of Life - Independent Life Celebrants

Irene Francis is committed to providing bespoke ceremonies that will reflect your beliefs, your lifestyle and your personality.

I trained as a Wedding, Family (Naming) and Funeral Celebrant in 2012 with the renowned Fellowship of Professional Celebrants, lead by Terri Shanks, of which I am a member.

I chose to become a Life Celebrant as after planning my mother’s funeral in 2011 I realised that most people don’t know that they can have something special when saying good bye to loved ones or for those other momentous occasions such as weddings or child namings.

In today’s ever changing world I believe that people should have the choice and freedom of expression to hold those special family events in the fashion they want, rather than the very limited traditional ceremonial services normally offered to them.

Circle of Life is based in Gillingham, Kent and I am happy to travel to locations in the UK and overseas (subject to expenses).
