Saying goodbye is never easy. But a service that captures the character of your loved one and the life they lived is a great tribute.

Grief, emotion and the speed with which things happen at this sad time can leave you feeling overwhelmed.

My role as your celebrant is to listen and the craft a service that truly honours the life of your loved one.

I always tell families that in our first meeting I will ask lots of questions so I can get to know your loved one and the special place they held in your heart. We will talk, laugh and more than likely, cry as you share stories, memories and special moments.

We can chat about your options including the format of the service, involving family and friends with tributes, eulogies and readings.

I will then create a service and share it with you for your approval.

Throughout this time I will also work closely with your Funeral Director to ensure that I fulfill my role professionally and with compassion.

Please be sure to tell your Funeral Director as early as possible that you wish to engage me as your celebrant. Most Funeral Directors can recommend or arrange a celebrant, but you may also choose your own.
