With over 20 years’ experience, I take great pleasure in working with families to farewell their loved ones with dignity, love and celebration. I am a caring celebrant who strives to create the right atmosphere in fulfilling my clients’ requirements.
I have worked with many Funeral Directors over the years, conducting Memorial Services, graveside services, home services, small family Funeral Services, as well as very large funerals of over 1,300 attendees at large reception venues.
I am experienced with traditional and non-traditional funerals, baby and child funerals, suicides, victims of road and industrial accidents, sudden deaths, as well as expected deaths.
On occasions where the death is expected or imminent, I have regularly been asked to meet with the deceased prior to their passing, to ensure that the person may express their desires and provide input into their own Funeral or Memorial Service.
I deliver exceptional service, with a passion to ensure that every funeral is personal and meaningful, fulfilling the wishes of the deceased, as well as the family, and most importantly, accurately reflecting the life of the deceased.
I believe honesty, compassion, integrity and insight are crucial in building ongoing relationships with bereaved families.
With our heartfelt thanks for guiding us through our final goodbye to our darling Mum / Nan. Your care and compassion has helped us cope.
We will never be able to thank you enough for the way you conducted the Funeral Service for Ian, with many saying it was an outstanding service in that it was about Ian, and not just formulaic, as many services are.
Thank you for the wonderful Funeral Service you performed for my mother. Numerous people asked me if you knew my mother, as your heartfelt delivery seemed to indicate this. Your caring words and emotional, yet succinct delivery, have been a great comfort to me.
