Lynn Felton is an independent celebrant based in the Southeast
My journey as a celebrant began when a well-regarded Local Authority Registrar entrusted me with the honour of leading the funeral for her best friend. When I asked why she chose me, she replied, “because I know you will do a wonderful ceremony, and I can’t think of anyone better to treat her and the family with the care and respect they deserve.” I was deeply touched and honoured to be given the privilege of conducting this ceremony.
Exhibitions
Before becoming a celebrant, I had a long career in the exhibition and event industry. I organised large international trade exhibitions, worked as an event manager at one of the country’s most prestigious venues, and eventually became a director at an employer’s trade association representing UK-based exhibition contractors.
This experience honed my people skills, requiring problem-solving, discretion, and diplomacy while dealing with people from all walks of life.
Foster Carer
My people skills were further utilised when I became a foster carer, specialising in the care of troubled teenagers. I have remained in contact with some of those in my care as they have moved into adulthood and parenthood.
Family & Friends
I have a close-knit family, with strong connections spanning four generations. I also have a long-standing friendship group that has endured for decades.
The core of these relationships is being there to support one another through the best and worst of times.
Pottery
Recently, I discovered a creative side I didn’t know I had. For the first time in my life, I have a hobby that is now a passion – pottery.
It has become a way for me to decompress from the challenges of day-to-day life while producing something visually engaging.
