Emma Britton on being a funeral celebrant living with stage 4 'ALK Positive' lung cancer


Listen Later

Matt has a heartfelt conversation with Emma Britton, funeral celebrant based in Bridgwater in Somerset. Emma trained with the United Kingdom Society of Celebrants in 2020 and has been working as a celebrant since then supporting over 800 bereaved families.
 
Prior to becoming a celebrant Emma worked as BBC local radio presenter for 13 years across Somerset and Bristol.
 
Emma's life was turned upside down in April 2025 when despite being a non-smoker, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 'ALK Positive' lung cancer, a rare genetic cancer that is incurable but hopefully manageable thanks to modern medicine.
