Meet Paula Jackson

Working mainly in the Bracknell area,  I am passionate about crafting unique ceremonies that honour the journey of each life. 

When my own Mom died, I didn't want her life to be told without that special connection that made her truly who she was. I wanted words to be hers or that of family members, I wanted everyone present to feel connected and be able to remember little things she did or said, clearly and with love. So I planned her music, tributes, eulogy and reflections.  I engaged a Celebrant to speak those words for me as I didn't have the heart to speak myself. The words, the music and the feeling was all Mom. We laughed, we cried and said our goodbyes  in a way that really  reflected who she was to all of us. 

With the death of a loved one it is often hard to gather all your thoughts amid grief, arrangements and the million things you have to do.  This is why I finally decided to study with The Academy of Modern Celebrants, to help    others plan a beautiful ceremony to say that final goodbye. 

My approach is based on empathy, respect, and a commitment to celebrating the distinctiveness of every individual. 

Thank you for considering me in commemorating your loved one's life with grace and love.
