I have been a Funeral Celebrant since 2006 and have a wealth of experience in working with families grieving the loss of a loved one.

I can assist you to create a Funeral, Memorial or Celebration of Life Ceremony that honours the life of your loved one. Each ceremony will be unique, lovingly and individually crafted in response to the life story of the one who has died, and the wishes of the grieving family.

As an experienced Celebrant, an ex-teacher with 42+ years in education and a public speaker for many events, I am positive that I will bring dignity, professionalism, creativity, warmth and support for you and your family and to the delivery of the ceremony on the day.

My main home office is in Greenmount and I am well placed to meet with clients anywhere in the Hills, Midland or Swan Valley but I am happy to travel elsewhere in the Perth metro area, including the Peel region. I'm happy to travel to more remote areas and this can be arranged upon request.

I look forward to being your Funeral, Memorial Service or Celebration of Life Celebrant.

I found Julie to be very compassionate and understanding. She was always super responsive and accommodating of all our needs. The Celebration of my father's life was a perfect fit for the man he was. Thank you so much Julie. ~ A.A.

Thank you Julie for helping me to organise a beautiful service for my late husband. You helped me and the children put our ideas together and as the service was held at our local lake, your idea of ripples in the water representing his life touching many people was wonderful. It was a very emotional moment when guests were invited to throw a pebble in the lake to represent that they had been touched by his life’s ripples. Your complete professionalism was comforting and I would have no hesitation in recommending you in the future. ~ M.H. and family

As a Funeral Director it is a delight to work alongside Julie. She goes the extra mile with our families to deliver a professional and creative service. Her words are freshly written and delivered in a wise, light and caring manner. Julie is openly communicative and available at all times to ensure every aspect of the funeral service is clear and understood  by those involved. Thank you Julie for helping families feel entirely supported during an emotional and stressful time. ~ Stacey Farmer, Funeral Director, Gift of Grace Funerals

Losing our beloved husband/Dad/brother and friend was an incredibly hard time, but Julie was a rock throughout the process. She bent over backwards to make the ceremony special to us, and to ensure that it really represented the man who Dad was. Many people present, and those watching on the livestream, commented that it seemed as though she knew Dad - exactly what we were hoping for. Thank you, Julie. ~ Ayton family

On behalf of our family, may we take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude for the exceptional care and professionalism you have demonstrated in arranging and conducting Ann’s funeral. Your attention to detail and compassionate approach made a significant difference during this difficult time. From the initial planning stages to the final service, every aspect was handled with the utmost respect and sensitivity. Your dedication ensured that Ann’s farewell was not only beautiful but also a true reflection of her life and spirit. Thank you once again for your outstanding work and support. It has meant the world to us. It will be our absolute pleasure to recommend your services to others. We have already received outstanding feedback from those that attended the service or viewed it online, much to your credit. ~ C.&Y.C.

Julie, the help and guidance and patience that you gave us in planning H's celebration of life was wonderful and beautiful. Life at the moment is not easy, but you made one hill easier to climb. You are a beautiful lady with many skills, compassion to help other families as you have helped my family. Thank you! ~ G.V. & family

I have had the privilege of attending many funerals where Julz has been Celebrant. I have observed Julz' genuine desire to create Celebrations of Life that honour the deceased. I particularly appreciate the use of ritual woven into her ceremonies. Julz has a knack for meeting the families where they are at, teasing out what they need for a meaningful experience and doing whatever she can to make it happen. ~ E.G.

Julie, I can’t emphasise enough how caring, thoughtful & professional you & the team from BARE were. You presented F.V.'s life in a truthful and honest manner, with deep compassion & respect. I would once again pass on my deepest gratitude to you all. ~ R.V. & family

When we embarked on a memorial service for V.F. we didn't have a clue where to start. But you were so kind, gentle & sympathetic you made it easier for us to talk about V.F. On the day of the service you greeted all our family, friends & neighbours with quiet dignity & presented the service with a touch of humour added to the words we had written. Julie, you gave us all we had asked of you... and a little extra as well! On behalf of my family, thank you for making and saying our goodbyes so special for all of us. ~ M.F. & family

Julz, we really enjoyed working with you. You made this horrible time easier for us and communication via Zoom (as I was still in Germany when we started planning the memorial service) and in person was a pleasure. We are so thankful for the brilliant job you did. So many people commented on how beautiful and fitting the memorial service was. You embraced P's eclectic taste of rock and punk music, his sports equipment and a big glass of beer besides the urn, you even practiced some German and you involved his children in a perfect way. ~ Sabrina
