The Ceremony Set collection: create the ceremony you need
A collection of curated Remembrance Ceremony Sets, each shaped around a different kind of loss, reflecting the many different forms that grief can take, and containing everything you need to hold a self-led ceremony of your own, when your grief needs a place to land.
Our own Remembrance Ceremony Guide, researched and written by us for this purpose, sits alongside carefully selected ritual objects, so that you can honour and hold space for your grief, in the privacy of your home or a place that matters to you.

"What I learned from the scholars confirmed what I had already felt in the body: that without a ceremony to mark the passage, the passage cannot be completed."
Charlotte’s practice is built upon the dual rigour of the humanities and the law. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, member of the Society of Authors, English Literature graduate, and a qualified, non-practising solicitor, she understands that a ceremony is not a performance: it is a piece of spiritual engineering designed to move you across a threshold that ordinary life cannot bridge.
Her framework is a rigorous interdisciplinary synthesis, drawing on the architecture of sacred space, the survival of human gesture across centuries, and the deep symbolic roots of folklore and esotericism. By navigating the three-fold architecture of a threshold rite: Separation, Liminality, and Incorporation, she ensures that your passage is not merely named, but structurally completed.
She is a registered independent celebrant and a published journalist, bringing the meticulous care of a professional to the whole-hearted intention of a scholar. Every commission is handled with the depth of the archive and the presence of the altar.
The instinct for light as meaning may have ancestral foundations: Charlotte is researching ancestral connections to a master stained glass painter whose windows still hold ceremonial light in York Minster and the great chapels of Oxford and Cambridge.
Whatever you are marking, it deserves its own unique and deeply constructed architecture.
