a path

Welcome to Present Ascent, the home of my funeral celebrancy work. I’m Lucy and I’m an independent funeral celebrant. I work with individuals and families to plan and lead a funeral ceremony. I live in Macclesfield and work throughout Cheshire, South Manchester and the Peak District.

I believe that a funeral can be full of love — a special time to share stories and to remember someone in a way that is personal, meaningful and (where suited) creative. It is also a space to mark their beauty and uniqueness, no matter how short or long their life.

As a part of my role, I will listen to you — gently and openly — as we begin to explore what you are hoping for in a funeral ceremony. We will navigate the planning process together and, if needed, I can introduce you to ideas and options along the way. This will lead us to the creation of a funeral ceremony that is as right as possible for both the person who has died, or who is dying, along with those who will attend.

The areas that I cover include Macclesfield, Bollington, Adlington, Poynton, Congleton, Sandbach, Crewe, Buxton, the High Peak, Stockport, Cheadle, Didsbury, Sale, Altrincham, Bowdon, Hale, Knutsford, Northwich, Winsford, Holmes Chapel & Middlewich. In addition, I am more than happy to travel further afield than these areas - feel free to contact me to discuss.
