Lianna Champ

Founder & Managing Director
Dip FD, Certified Embalmer, Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, Civil Funeral Celebrant

Lianna Champ was the youngest female qualified funeral director in the UK at the time she gained her qualifications. She opened Champ Funeral Services, at the age of 21.

When she started in the profession, the industry was predominantly male, and she faced significant challenges and discrimination, including the attempted blocking of essential supplies.

Despite the resistance, Lianna built a successful career spanning over 40 years. With her heartfelt dedication to the funeral profession, Lianna is recognised for her deeply compassionate presence and unwavering commitment to families at their most vulnerable moments.

She founded her practice with a simple but powerful intention: to offer care that is personal, honest, and led by love. As a sought-after speaker and educator, Lianna continues to reshape conversations around grief and loss, empowering communities to embrace these universal experiences with openness and grace.
