a goodbye that
feels like them.
Every life is different and every funeral should be too.
Saying goodbye is never easy,
but it doesn’t need to be hard.
At True North, every life is celebrated and honoured in a way that is befitting of the person you have lost.
A True North ceremony will never feel standard, from the first phone call to the very last farewell
- you are in good hands.

Wow what can I say! This man made this heartbreaking day into something special
The way he spoke and the words he used hit me right to my core, they were amazing, you can tell he really went through everything to describe mum EXACTLY how she was, there was something special and soothing about his approach and the way he spoke. I’ve been to many funerals not ONE held a light to my mums and that’s all because of Callum

Couldn’t of asked for a better celebrant for my brothers funeral
Callum is caring, patient and has incredible empathy. Callum turned what should have been a really sad day into a beautiful send off he told the story of my brothers life in a very heartwarming way and brought his memories alive. I honestly would give him more than 5 stars if I could and can’t recommend him enough.

I never knew funerals could be so special and beautiful
He took notes and words off all our family and somehow arranged them into this beautiful story, bringing out some of mums amazing memories. Funerals are usually cold and no sound but this one because of Callum was bright, warming, memorable and done with so much love and passion, he even involved my little boy who is 5 and was my mums FAVOURITE human EVER get up and say a few words.

it was lovely but so so sad at the same time.
I HOPE I never NEED Callum but believe me when I say that when it comes to that time that I DO need him it will be he I choose to send me off, any future heartbreaking passings I will want and need Callum to send us off. Thank you for every single thing you did and said on that horrible day Callum. ALL funerals should be done and led by someone like you who has the love, passion and wanting to do the very best for people at their lowest time and on a horrific day! Thank you

We will always be thankful to Callum
He took all of our ideas on board and turned them into a truly personal and meaningful service. The way he told stories about my Nan and her beautiful life made it feel so special — it really captured who she was.
He brought everyone together in such a heartfelt way, making us all feel close and connected to her. So many people commented on how lovely and personal the service was.
We will always be thankful to Callum for giving my Nan such an amazing goodbye.

I honestly could not be more grateful to have had Callum do the service
Being the first funeral I have ever had to arrange I honestly could not be more grateful to have had Callum do the service from are first phone call to are first face to face he made a hard time feel so much lighter as if I had known him for so long! The day of service he greeted me again with such a manner I felt like I had known him for ages, the reading he wrote was absolutely perfect he listened to us all as a family and put something meaningful in from us all! I could not recommend Callum enough, Thankyou once again xx
working with loved ones
When a loved one dies, there is a lifetime of memories and stories to tell. At times, it can feel overwhelming ensuring that the ceremony you prepare matches who they were in life. So, we start with a conversation.
It is my job to make sure that the final goodbye is truly reflective of who they were, this doesn’t mean reeling off endless dates but instead, it means capturing their essence, discovering the nuances that made them who they were, and highlighting the impact they had on those they love.

A funeral director may recommend me, or you may have chosen True North because you have seen me lead a ceremony before. Whatever way we come together, I always start with a call, this way I can offer my condolences, discuss a little bit about your loved one and I can let you know the next steps.
Following this call, I will send:

This is your opportunity to tell me about your person. Their life, their personality, their passions, their quirks, the things that made them laugh, and the things that mattered most to them.
Sometimes there are tears, sometimes there is laughter, often there is both.
I want to understand the person beyond the dates and facts.
Who were they when they were at their happiest?
What did they love?
Who loved them?
What stories always get told at family gatherings?
What lessons did they leave behind?
Whether somebody lived a long and full life or a life that feels heartbreakingly short, every story deserves care, dignity, and honesty.Following this call, I will send:

Using everything you have shared and inspired by how your loved one lived their life, I will work on creating a ceremony that feels perfect.
Every ceremony is written specifically for your loved one and the people gathering to remember them.
This means, no templates, no generic wording but instead the ceremony will sound like them, will feel recognisable and will reflect the life they have lived.
Once this is written, the first draft is sent to you - you can request edits, make additions and have anything removed. It is completely up to you.
Nothing is set in stone until you are happy.
-
On the day, my role is to guide you through the ceremony with warmth, calm and confidence.
You don’t need to worry about what happens next or whether everything is running smoothly - your funeral director and I will have everything in hand.
This means, you can focus on what matters most: being present with the people you are sharing this time with and saying a final farewell to the person you loved.
