Tim Boud

Hi, I’m Tim! I’m in my 50s, and I live in Suffolk, between Sudbury and Colchester.

As a Humanist celebrant, I love working with new people to help them create a ceremony for an important rite of passage that is rich, meaningful and memorable.

My main job was teaching until I decided to work as a supply teacher so that I could devote myself more to my ceremonies. For many years people have remarked on the strength and quality of my presentation and speaking, whether to small groups of students or meetings of 300 people.

I now have ten years of experience as a Humanist celebrant and have helped celebrate some brilliant weddings and namings over the last decade. Friends and family have often remarked that I should also work as a funeral celebrant. So, I have now started working in this role too. I have pledged to craft original and fitting tributes built around your loved one, the life they lived, the stories about them and the lives they touched. You can feel confident putting the funeral ceremony you are planning into the hands of an experienced, sensitive and professional celebrant.

I do lots of other things. I love living in beautiful Constable country in South Suffolk with my wife and daughter. In my precious spare time, I enjoy reading – so much so that I run a men’s book group. I’m also a keen cyclist, runner, walker and a cricket player for my not-too-serious village team on the Suffolk/Essex border. I’m passionate about travelling and have enthusiastically adopted house swapping/home exchanging. I also occasionally work as an activities support worker for Suffolk Independent Living and I volunteer for Age Well East
