I am a Commonwealth of Australia authorised marriage celebrant with a warm, engaging, friendly, and professional approach. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting families during some of life’s most meaningful moments, including crafting heartfelt funeral services that honour and celebrate the lives of their loved ones.

I specialise in truly listening to families, understanding their wishes, and creating personalised services that reflect the unique essence of the departed. Whether it’s incorporating special tributes, meaningful rituals, or cherished memories, I ensure the service is as unique as the person being remembered.

As part of my funeral celebrant package, I also offer eulogy writing services, helping families articulate their thoughts and memories in a way that deeply resonates. If needed, I can assist with preparing the memorial audio-visual presentation, ensuring a seamless and heartfelt tribute.

Celebrating the life of a loved one is a profound responsibility that I approach with care and respect. I hope my services can bring comfort and aid in the closure process that a meaningful funeral service provides.

This poem comes from the perspective of someone who has lived a rich and full life. It’s a celebration of gratitude - for the love of family and friends, for the experiences that have shaped them, and for the moments that have brought joy and meaning. It also gently reminds those left behind that life continues, and that the greatest tribute we can give is to embrace each day, fully and without regret. I’VE LIVED A FULL LIFE I’ve lived a full life, and I have been your friend, The story of my life is complete, the final words...the end. Your grieving heart and warm tears you send, Fill me with hope that in time you will mend. I was blessed with loving family, friends and mates, Each day was filled with love and good food on the plates. Sometimes challenging, sometimes hard, But it was always enriching chatting in the yard. Life is a journey of twists and turns, Chasing our dreams and the things we yearn. I wouldn’t change a moment, not a single day, Who would want to wish a moment away. As the weeks without me, become months and years, you will say goodbye to the sadness and the tears. Replaced by warm and loving thoughts Of a person who enjoyed love, friendship and family, And all that can’t be bought. Author: Jamie Cartner Most of the funerals I have had the privilege to conduct have been for parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents who were deeply loved and greatly admired. It’s always clear how much they gave - love, wise counsel, gentle guidance - and how much their presence shaped the lives of those around them. Losing someone like this leaves a real gap in our everyday lives, and yet their influence stays with us, quietly guiding us forward. This poem is my way of honouring those special people - the ones who inspire, protect, and love across generations - and celebrating the remarkable impact they have on all of us. How Much You Were Loved! – A Tribute. How can we tell you what you were, what you are to us? How can we tell you how much you loved, quietly and without fuss? You inspired us as our compass and guide, And now you are gone, who will be by our side? You were always there for us and never too far, A visit, a hug, a ride in the car. You provided for all we yearned, You taught us much, and mostly we learned. As we grew and eventually moved on, We lived our lives as best we could. You encouraged us to give things a go, You never once said, “You Should!” As our families grew, you were always near, With a hug and a smile, a gift or a lost toy found here. The grandkids adored you and loved their pet names, A walk in the park and lots of great games. Now it’s time to say goodbye and offer thanks for being you, And in life’s future trials we’ll pause and ask, What would you have thought, what would you have done, To guide us, to love us, to show us the way on?

Jamie officiated my husbands funeral a few years ago. Jamie was a long time family friend and we knew his knowledge, understanding, professional experience and demener would be beneficial to our needs. Throughout the planning and preparation of the funeral, Jamie delicately assisted me, explained the process and spent many hours helping me and the family to make sure the day was in keeping with our requests, what my husband would have wanted and ensuring we honored my husbands memory in a loving and respectful manner. Jamie made the process of the funeral much easier for us at a very difficult time. ~ Jan Duke and family

Jamie was the celebrant at my dad's memorial. He was professional, respectful but also kept the occasion light with his smile and understanding personality, just as we wanted. Would highly recommend him. ~ Louise Trigg
