My name is Reverend Hazel Jane, and I believe in magic I believe in honour, in history, in symbolism, in truth. I believe we can celebrate love differently. I believe we can do death better. I am an interfaith minister and creative celebrant living in a wee village in Fife, Scotland. I conduct weddings, funerals, and rites of passage for gorgeous souls in Scotland and beyond. I’m passionate about telling stories. I craft with language and ritual to create beautiful, safe spaces – holding people wherever they are, offering whatever they might need.

As the name suggests, my ceremonies are celebrations, honouring a life, welcoming a new life or identity or marking an important rite of passage. In addition to my own life experiences and professional background in the NHS, Public Health, Communities and Education, I have an open-minded and culturally sensitive approach to life, death and everything in between.

Happy to travel
