About Tanya McDonald

The death of a loved one is an especially sad time. It can be an extremely difficult time for family and friends, especially those who need to arrange the funeral.

As your Funeral Celebrant, I will visit with you and any family and friends you wish to be involved in organising the service, in a location convenient and comfortable for you. This meeting will take about 3 hours. The meeting is vital for me to sensitively gather information needed to prepare a ceremony which reflects the true nature of the person whose life we are celebrating.

This visit also offers you, your family and friends the chance to reflect on the past and to share with each other not only the loss that you are experiencing but also your treasured memories.

The information I gather from our meeting I will create a ceremony which will pay tribute to and honour your loved one’s memory. 

I can work closely with your chosen Funeral Director or help you plan the service you would like for your loved one as your Funeral Planner.

As your Funeral Planner, I will be with you through the process of making arrangements to the conclusion of the service to ensure that your loved one receives a professional and fitting farewell.
​
Every Funeral Service should be as individual as your loved one and by selecting me as your Funeral Planner you will be able to select how best you would like to say goodbye.

Testimonials

Tanya was the celebrant at my father-in-law’s recent funeral. She was compassionate, professional, supportive and kind. Tanya took care of all of the tiny details and liaised with the funeral director on our behalf. Nothing was too much trouble. Tanya helped us to celebrate a life with great dignity and respect. She calmly and professionally navigated all of the different family personalities and ensured that the service went smoothly and without a hitch. I thoroughly recommend Tanya. She made a very sad and difficult time in our lives so much easier. Heartfelt thanks. ~ Wilby family
