About thetailoredcelebrant
About me
My name is Derek Brewster and I am an Independent Celebrant specialising in funerals and memorials.
Having had an extensive career in roles focussing on connecting with people and public speaking - my passion is simply to work with you on delivering a uniquely tailored celebration of life for your loved one.
If you have chosen a burial, a cremation, interring or scattering of the ashes, a celebration of life or a memorial - let me support and guide you to tailor a ceremony which is a true reflection of your loved one.
Covering Glasgow, North and South Lanarkshire and West Lothian areas.

My philosophy
We are all born, develop and grow throughout life as individuals - creating a unique presence.
Working closely with families to ensure their goodbye is as personal and appropriate as can be. Through personal visits, regular phone calls and emails capturing those key moments and telling those important stories, I will tailor a celebration of their life and deliver a ceremony as individual as they were.
Experiencing grief is a natural reaction to loss - sadly grief, is the price that we pay for love. Sharing in that sadness can bring great comfort at this very difficult time. I believe that uniting in laughter is important too, as together we can share the happy moments and treasure those memories of a fulfilled life.
