Life.
Love.
Memories.
Jackie Johnston creates personal funeral and memorial services across Central Scotland. Nothing off the shelf. Nothing that has to sound like anybody else.
Central Scotland
Before anything is written, Jackie listens.
She has spent more than 29 years working in end-of-life care and with bereaved people. That experience shows up quietly, in knowing when to speak, when to ask, and when to give people time.
| Experience | More than 29 years in end-of-life care |
| Qualification | Certified Funeral Celebrant |
| Approach | Personal, creative and centred on the person being remembered |
A funeral can be formal. It can be relaxed. It can be indoors, outdoors, or somewhere that simply means something.
Ways Jackie can help
Funeral services
A service built from the person’s real life, voice, relationships and stories.
Celebrations of life
Memorial gatherings with more freedom around place, timing and format.
After direct cremation
A separate memorial service when there has been no ceremony at the crematorium.
Stories often begin with the smallest details.
Jackie Johnston
A storyteller when words are hard to find.
Jackie is a public speaker, a creative writer and someone who has spent much of her working life alongside people at the end of life and the families around them.
Her aim is not to make every service sound polished or ceremonial. It is to make it sound true to the person. Sometimes that means warmth. Sometimes humour. Sometimes simplicity.
The starting point is always the same: tell Jackie about the person, not the funeral.
Central Scotland, and places that mattered.
Jackie works across Central Scotland and can create individual indoor and outdoor services, including ceremonies held somewhere special to the person being remembered.
You can start with a conversation.
