Celebrating Life
I'm Kyle, an independent civil funeral celebrant based in Glasgow.
For me, being a funeral celebrant is more than a profession. It's a profound honour and a deeply felt responsibility. With this responsibility comes my commitment to support you through this difficult time with compassion and care.
As a professional writer of 30+ years, I am at heart a storyteller. It’s an amazing privilege to be able to help you celebrate and share your loved one’s story, whether we’re crafting a funeral service or a memorial tribute.

J, sister of the deceased

A, sister of the deceased
“Just to say thanks so much for your lovely eulogy today for our nephew. His son was overwhelmed and thankful for your presentation and professionalism. Think there were more laughs than tears. Once again, thanks so much.”
C, aunt of the deceased
“Dear Kyle, I have just read your wonderful service. I can think of no way to improve on what you have written and will hold all these thoughts to my heart for years.”
A, husband of the deceased
“This is just perfect, Kyle. You have worded this so well and the tears are tripping me with pride. You have written a fantastic eulogy and have done the family proud.”
J, daughter of the deceased
“Many of those attending asked us where we found you, and commented that it was the most fun and uplifting funeral they had been to – a bit odd I know but exactly what Dad would have wanted. Thank you – you made a difficult day much easier for us all.”
L, daughter of the deceased
“I wanted to tell you how well you interpreted all the things that we three wanted to say about G's life and the family; your tone of voice, smiles and phrasing were just how I'd have wanted to do it, had I been able to. And the extra effort that you made with the music, the reflection photos and seamlessly giving M the space to voice her own appreciation of her dad are much appreciated. Almost every one of our friends and relations commented that you made it a lovely tribute. Thank you so much for helping to make a very sad day much more bearable”
C, wife of the deceased
“The service was beautiful and everyone commented on it afterwards. It was such a lovely reflection of C her life and her struggles without dwelling on her health. Thank you for making this process so much easier than it seemed. I think the bit any family dreads is trying to find things to say, to find the right words and you just took that burden away… The testament to your skill is that at least 3 people with ailing relatives have taken your details away with them to call upon you for help in the future!”
