A message from Jay Belshaw - Celebrant &  Founder of www.trusted-celebrants.com...

​

 

"With over 26 years’ experience in the funeral industry,  I have dedicated my career to helping families through some of the most difficult moments in their lives.

 

I spent 10 years working as a funeral director, while also leading funeral services, before becoming a self-employed funeral celebrant 16 years ago.  I was leading services long before the word celebrant even existed. Long before any of the modern day ‘celebrant courses’ existed.

 

I have had the privilege of helping many thousands of families create meaningful and personal farewells for their loved ones.

 

I’m incredibly passionate about my profession. My priority has always been simple: to make sure every detail is right and that every family receives the best possible send-off for their loved one. I believethat every life is unique, and every funeral should reflect the person being remembered.

 

Trusted Celebrants is something I’m  immensely proud of. It has been created from the heart, with a genuine desire to bring together experienced, professional celebrants who share the same values of quality, care and professionalism.

 

I am incredibly proud of every celebrant represented on this website and the wonderful work they do for families across our communities.

 

Together, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards and ensuring that families and funeral directors can have confidence in the celebrants they choose.

 

There really are no words to describe how proud I am of Trusted Celebrants.

 

I look forward to continuing to support families, lead meaningful services and help people say goodbye to their loved ones for many more years to come.

 

Quality and professionalism is what we are all about… and I wouldn’t have it any other way."
