Every life is special and has a unique story to tell.
My Deepest Condolences.
I am so sorry your recent loss has brought you here. The loss of a loved one is devastating. It is such an emotional and difficult time. It is so hard to arrange a funeral when you are coming to terms with the loss of someone you love.
I understand how overwhelmed you must feel.
I am here to help you through this difficult time. To grieve and to celebrate the life of your loved one. It is your chance to say goodbye and recognise your loved ones life, with the support of your family and friends. Having been through this myself, feel your pain. It is a privilege to be invited to be immersed in your family’s loss.
My role is to provide guidance and support to you and your family through this difficult time with respect and care.
As your celebrant I will deliver a heartfelt and sincere ceremony that reflects your loved ones life, their personality, their beliefs, their hobbies, their history.
I write and preform a non-religious funeral service, life celebration or memorial service.
I look forward to assisting you through this difficult time,
call me on 0478 833 356 or email [email protected]
When you contact me
We make a time to meet, usually at your home but it can be a local cafe, if you prefer.
We discuss your loved one. What was important to them and what they loved. I will take notes
I connect with other family members who wish to contribute and coordinate with those who are writing or reading something for the eulogy
I develop a funeral ceremony that expresses your loved ones life and passions. Their ceremony could be a combination of story telling, music, visual media and ritual. It reflects their life.
