Hi, I'm Pete Billingham
You've probably clicked on this page wondering who I am and if I can legitimately claim to be able to help you?
I can understand that. Honest, I would be doing the same if I was you.
I'm a funeral celebrant and specialist eulogy writer. I started my funeral celebrant and eulogy writing business in 2014.
I have now written well over 700 eulogies.
I wrote the eulogy for Britain's oldest woman, Hilda Clulow, who lived to be 111 years and 284 days old. Incredible.
Sadly, many of the hundreds of other eulogies were for people who should have lived more years than they did.
Writing those 700 eulogies for people of all ages, occupations and circumstances reminds me of this one essential truth - life is short - no matter how many days we have. Regardless of how many days, months or years someone is alive, their's is a unique life story to be told. Every life is extraordinary.
It is my mission to allow every family to have beautiful words spoken about their loved one when they die - this doesn't always happen. "Insert Name Here" tributes are more common than they should be. Online memorials that consist of a few photos and a fact-based obituary don't allow the telling of a remarkable life story.
That's why many families ask for me by name to write the eulogy of their loved one. There are 90 or more 5* reviews from families who found comfort and closure from the worlds that I wrote about their loved one. You can read those reviews HERE.
I could not be more grateful for the opportunity to be a funeral celebrant. As a professional Funeral Celebrant, I am a member of the Association of Independent Celebrants, and I have adopted the Accord of The Funeral Celebrancy Council as my standard of practice.
What matters more to you is knowing that nothing is too much trouble to find out about your loved one and write their eulogy. Please allow me the opportunity to do that.
