Integrity and Heart in Every Service.
My name is Ian Richardson, and I founded Ian Richardson - Promises Kept Celebrancy Services to provide families with a modern, dignified alternative to traditional ceremonies.
I am a trained celebrant and a member of the Association of Independent Celebrants.
From personal experience and from conversations with people who have been bereaved, it has informed me in building a business that exists on crafting and delivering a funeral that should be more than just a formal goodbye; it should be a tribute to a life story, a heartfelt reflection of a person’s journey.
My background has taught me the importance of the "Promise", the commitments we make to each other and in our families to honour those that we have lost with an authentic service and a celebration of life.
I will not deliver a generic script. It is you that is important in this, I am a listener and a presenter. It is my role to listen to your stories, to capture the essence of your loved one, and to deliver a ceremony that provides comfort and a sense of peace to those left behind.
