Welcome to Daisy Chain Ceremonies
“Caring for your family…. as my own”
Welcome to my website I am Victoria (Vicky) Wesley and I have been honoured to work in the funeral profession for almost 40 years. I began my journey when I was just 15 years old working in my family’s funeral directors in the North West and was so proud when I qualified as a funeral director three years later.
I proudly served our local families for a number of years, becoming part of the communities I worked in. I am still in contact with many of the families I have helped over the years and now count them as friends and I am so grateful to be involved in their celebrations as well as honoured to help them say goodbye to their loved ones.
Time and life move on though and I continued my journey within the corporate funeral world, which came with an opportunity to move to the South coast, helping me to realise a personal dream, living by the sea!
After a while here I realised working for a corporation no longer allowed me to provide care for families on a personal level and this is where my passion and heart has always rested, helping and guiding families through what is possibly the hardest time of their lives and of course helping them to remember, commemorate and celebrate their loved one’s life.
So in 2016 I began a new chapter and left the corporate world behind and came back to the beginning, back to caring for families now in my role as a celebrant, helping people to remember, to love and to never forget.
Funeral Services and Celebrations of Life
“Grieving may be universal, but we all do it in our own unique way”
Each person lives a unique life and it is my belief, that a funeral service should reflect this, paying tribute to and celebrating the life of your loved one, and also acknowledging the pain and loss you the family are feeling.
I will come and see you and your family and explain all the options that are available to you, as a family. We will discuss the music, memories, reading and poems that you would like for the funeral service and if your family would like to share their memories in the service, I will support you to achieve this.
Every ceremony will be individually designed for you and you will receive a draft copy for your approval, keeping you involved in the service and at the heart of the service will be your loved one. I have worked in the funeral industry for 40 years and I passionately believe that.
“saying goodbye is just as important as saying hello”
Together we will make sure your loved one has a funeral service that truly reflects their life, celebrates their achievements and everything that was important to them.
Together we will remember.
Over my career I have mourned and cried with families at times, but I have also celebrated with them too and when the time comes for you to smile, I would be honoured to share those occasions with you also, please contact me for
Weddings, Civil Partnerships, Renewal of Vows, Naming Ceremonies
As with everything I do, each service will be individually composed with your input and beliefs at the forefront. Together we will create a beautiful ceremony that reflects you and your family and the occasion we are celebrating together.

Vicky was our celebrant for our marriage ceremony in April 2022. We chose her as she had also conducted my mum's funeral service in 2021 and we had been touched by her kindness, compassion and drive to make the service as personal and heartfelt as possible. We were so glad we chose Vicky for our marriage celebration - she was so thoughtful, really took the time to get to know us as a couple and what we hoped for on the day. Vicky was wonderful, her service was beautifully delivered and so many of our guests told us how moving it was. We would thoroughly recommend Vicky with no hesitation.

Hi Vicky A huge thank you for a fantastic service. You spoke about our brother with warmth and compassion. The service flowed with a few tears as well as some chuckles. You made us all feel at easy as well as my young granddaughter as she was to read poem. At the end of the service you were really good at getting the congregation to join in with the last song for that we are truly great full. Kind Regards Steve, Bridget, Lisa and Trevor 08-07-2022

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for helping us give our Mum the best goodbye we could have given on Monday 1st August. Everyone has been commenting on how lovely you were and how the service was perfect for Mum; we couldnt have done it without your help and guidance..from coming to Mum & Dads house in Totton for our lovely chat, to even just stepping out of the cars at Wessex Vale, you were there. I know you were with us at every step of the service and it felt like you were really in touch with saying goodbye to Mum with us. A lot of it does feel a little blurry if Im honest, so Im really pleased we have the draft service to read back on one day. The Rainbow poem you chose for us was just perfect too. Weve found some lovely keepsake bits with the poem on that we can buy. I dont know how you do it, but your job is invaluable and the people you meet will be forever grateful to you and that now includes us. Best Wishes Love

Dear Vicky, I would like to thank you very much for your time and support following the death of my wonderful wife Valerie. At a very difficult time you were able to guide us all through the process. You are kind hearted and because you care about the work you do you were able to bring Valerie back to life with enabling us all to provide you with our memories and you paid her the most moving of tributes. Many thanks Tony
