About Me

I’m Dave Adams an independent celebrant, professionally trained by The Academy of Professional Celebrants .

I have attained a certificate of excellence in funeral celebrancy.

I specialise in officiating at civil funeral services, and celebration of life services.

My aim is to create a personal service, based around what the deceased and their family would wish.

Each ceremony is personal, and an individual tribute to honour the memory of the deceased.

Each ceremony I conduct, is individually written from start to finish, honouring the person who has died, in a dignified and fitting way.

Dave held the service for my father. He did a great job as we wanted the service to be light hearted and not a sombre affair. From the discussion we had with him to discuss dad and our memories, he gathered the information and the reading on the day was very sincere and we had many compliments for him from members of the family on the day. Many thanks Dave for all your efforts.

We were so pleased that we chose Dave to carry out the funeral service for our Dad. He was very friendly, professional and thorough and nothing was too much trouble. Dave made the whole process easier at a difficult time and he made sure that he carried out the service in a way that totally reflected our Dads life. Would 100% recommend.

Excellent service and expert guidance through a very emotional time. Dave did justice to our father and would not hesitate to ask for his help again. A very big thank you Dave.

Meeting Dave to discuss my Dad's funeral really put our minds at rest. He was easy to talk to and really listened to what we wanted. The actual ceremony was beautiful, Dave gave us exactly the service that we felt my Dad would be proud of. Thank you Dave for making a very difficult time so much easier.

Dave was a fabulous celebrant, he made things so personal, it felt like he'd known us for years rather than only meeting us the once. He clearly listened not only to our words, but also took on our emotions and delivered a perfect service.

Me and my family would like to say a big thank you to Paul Virgo and his team from start to finish for organising my dad‘s funeral and suggesting Dave Adams as celebrant who conducted a fantastic service. I can highly recommend H D Tribes for a professional service. big thank you to you all.

Dave was absolutely amazing, kind, thoughtful, efficient and understanding. He completely understood what service, we as a family, wanted for our mother. Dave captured her personality and humour, for us it was the best celebration of a life we have ever experienced. We cannot thank you enough.
