The word 'Fumerals' written in elegant white script on a black background.

A Funeral Service should be as unique as the person it’s written for.

Finding the right words to commemorate someone’s life can seem like an impossible task.
I can help you capture the true essence of your loved one for their
Funeral, Memorial Service, or Celebration of Life.

My approach is to get down to who your loved one was, not just what they achieved. This means making sure to capture their personality and reflect their special traits and nuances.
It includes finding and setting the right tone, whether you’re after something traditional and earnest; something light and upbeat; or something that balances that unique relationship between love and loss.

Most of all, it’s about a person who had a life worthy of reflection, and never losing sight of who we’re there to commemorate.

Prior to my cert IV in Celebrancy, I achieved a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in English with a minor in Psychology.

I’m currently completing my Graduate Diploma in Psychology.

Testimonials

  • David Egan

    Thank you for the exceptional job you did in supporting my son to farewell his beloved Sam.

    All of us were delighted with not only the service you led, but also the way you made yourself available prior to the service, your guidance to those who were to do eulogies, and most important of all, the manner in which you listened and gleaned the essence of Sam's life story, making us feel you were God sent.

    Listening is a crucial skill so important in the grief process and you have it in spades. Being a young looking person, one could mistakenly think you might lack maturity for such an important role, but our experience is totally the opposite. Calmness, maturity, empathy and professionalism relevant to the circumstances were what you provided.

    To hear my son, so distraught with a broken heart, able to say that the celebration of Sam's life led by you was perfect and Sam would have loved it, made a very sad day one to remember positively forever.

    You were an absolute pleasure to work with.

    The Celebrant was a welcome change to the (too) many Funerals I have attended. She did not rely on the tired clichés that seem to have become mandatory. Her readings were thoughtful and engaging.

    There were one or two family issues, no doubt related to the stress of the occasion, that were handled with grace. I am sure that her management ensured these moments were missed by many.

    This young woman demonstrated the very best in her Profession.

  • Rich

    I just wanted to pass on my / our greatest thanks for your celebration of Mum on Friday.

    We have had nothing but overwhelmingly fantastic comments about how you conducted the service and how great it was.

    We also felt so warmed and positive about how lovely the service was… a true reflection of class, heartfelt memories and style that [redacted] would have definitely been proud of.

    Thank you again for making our sad time the best experience it could possibly be.

    Passing your details on if anyone else needs your help.

    On behalf of our family, I’d like to sincerely thank you for the time, effort, and care that was given to us at a the time of both arranging and officiating my husband’s service.

    Just wanted to say thank you for the service for dad on the 17th of February at [redacted].

    We thought you did a super job and there were many compliments from Mum and Dad’s friends. You did manage to capture his attributes well and that cannot always be easy to do!

    So once again thank you for making a difficult day less so.

For many of us, our pets are firmly part of the family.
Yet when a pet crosses the rainbow bridge, we don’t know what to do with the immense grief we feel in a society that still views pets as property rather than family members.

I’m a big supporter in the growing popularity of Funerals for Pets.

Funerals give people a sense of closure as well as a dignified farewell.
Our beloved animals deserve this too.
