A bit about me…
James Greely - Perfectionist, passionate, workaholic... failed blues guitarist (in that order!)
I’ve been working with people for all of my adult life. People from all backgrounds, sometimes at the most joyous moments in their life and sometimes at their worst. Its shaped me to be who I am today.
I am very fortunate to have the best role in the world where I can use my love of writing, sharing incredible stories and memories with families and combining both to make a difference in remembering a loved one at a difficult time.
I’m pleased to see how funeral services have finally started to move with the times. No longer a dark, formal and sombre occasion but now a celebration of life. Individually planned to reflect the true person and character. It is the creation and planning of each service with families that make my role a privilege to hold. I wouldn’t swap it for the world!
So a bit more about me...
- I drink far too much coffee
- Mad about cars
- I’m writing a book about my childhood
- I value my sleep and don’t do mornings
- Love all kinds of music - from soul to R&B although my biggest passion is of course, blues
- If I could swap places with someone? Probably Mark Knopfler for his incredible song writing talent and guitar playing….and a few million in the bank!
