Doug is a humanist celebrant based in Newark and conducts ceremonies in the East Midlands and London.  He's done lots of different jobs in his life including gravedigger, customs officer, accountant, actor and teacher of English and he's travelled widely in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.  He's never believed in a god, but he doesn’t have a problem with people that do.  From 2016 to 2019 he combined celebrancy with being a “Faith Adviser” on the Lincoln University Chaplaincy team, working side by side with priests, imams and other religious leaders providing advice and guidance to students.

Here we talk about local cultural significance, Ashes based ceremonies and ...er... auditing.
