Hayley Cartwright, known for her celebrant character ‘Hazel’, now performs off-set too, as she helps give people with no family a final goodbye.
The actress first welcomed the life of a celebrant in 2017 when she was cast as Coronation Street’s Hazel, who officiated many weddings and funerals on screen. She had visited many too, away from the sets, where she felt previous funerals lacked heartfelt emotion about the deceased’s life.
Given that thought, Hayley was encouraged to become a real-life celebrant, where her dad said the role would lend itself to her, in light of her affectionate nature and passionate career. Hayley told the MEN: “It’s important to send someone on their next journey with love.
