About Me

Hi, I’m Ellie Farrell, The Whitby Celebrant. I have been a wedding and funeral celebrant for nearly ten years now, and this has given me the opportunity to meet so many people, create over a thousand unique ceremonies and to tell the same amount of life stories.

Writing funeral ceremonies for Pagans, (I am a Pagan funeral celebrant), Goth funerals, historical re-enactment groups and specialising in alternative ceremonies (the name of my wedding and company, Alternative Ceremonies UK) has been a privilege.

To celebrate so many individual lives and to help people say goodbye in their unique ways is an honour.

I am also the founder and creator of Choice Celebrant Training and have personally trained over 550 wedding and funeral celebrants over the last ten years. A writer of guest blogs on various topics relating to funerals, nominated as Funeral Celebrant of the Year (to be beaten by a Vicar, the irony) and an experienced and knowledgeable celebrant.

If you want to know more, please get in touch. This section is short intentionally as it isn’t about me, it is about what you need. If you decide I am the right funeral celebrant for you, thank you.

Ellie
