As an experienced Funeral Celebrant, Felicity from Fusion Elements represents Life Celebrations. Specialising in family led services, I create and deliver the most beautiful, emotive services with dignity, respect, compassion and warmth. As the Celebrant privileged to represent you, your family, and community, it is important to recognise the different social, cultural & moral significance of the funeral service for every individual and family. Being given the honour to tell the story of someone’s life is exceptional. Being able to portray that story, and be trusted to share those memories of a special person with their family and friends is one of the most rewarding experiences in life. This is my passion.

End of Life Matters
Written by Felicity McShane - Funeral Celebrant /End of Life Doula
I’ll walk beside you in your darkest hours.
I’ll be there for your lightest of moments.
I’ll bare witness to those times of sorrow, grief and love,
When you leave this world behind.
I’ll see you through your memories,
For tomorrow’s generations, for family.
I’ll take care to share your joy, laughter and tears.
I’ll capture the essence of the who, what, when and where.
I’ll remember the sounds, songs, places and objects.
I’ll see you in every waking moment.
In my dreams, my heart, my mind.
I’ll look around for signs from you and I won’t have to look very far.
I’ll remain in this ever-changing world we live in,
Knowing that I have stories to share, people to care for,
And a life to live in your honour.
In light and peace, I walk beside you
In life, after death, in memories captured forever in time.
Your story matters.
You matter.
I first met Felicity McShane when she conducted my sister's wedding a number of years ago and was fortunate enough to have her look after my husband's funeral. My husband died tragically on June 2nd 2021 of a heart attack at work one night at the young age of 39. When you are going through such shock and sadness, I was put at ease to hear my sister had organised for Felicity to work with us and help us through this unimaginable process of planning my own husband's funeral.
We met with Felicity and had a comfortable meeting and talked about memories, happier times, love, family, kids, life. Felicity captured the best stories and dealt with different family members from Australia and New Zealand all who had different wishes for the funeral and put together the most heartfelt memorial.
Felicity worked with my sister, and the church, and the Funeral Directors, all of whom spoke so highly of her. She managed to make every family member happy and when my boys are old enough to watch the beautiful video of the funeral and understand the celebration, we had for daddy I know they will be proud.
I would be so happy to recommend Felicity for her amazing kind natured services, that when my husband's friend sadly passed recently, I offered to recommend her and pay for her services as a gift to that family who lost their loved one.
When you are going through the hardest times of your life you really need a loving and caring person helping you like Felicity McShane. ~ Andrea Clifton
Felicity McShane is the most professional, friendly and accommodating celebrant.
A few months after Felicity celebrated our wedding ceremony, we engaged her services for my dad’s funeral. She prepared the most beautiful service. She helped create a personal and unique service that everyone commented on how special it was and how it was unlike any funeral service they have been to before. Our family felt so comfortable and blessed to have had Felicity's kind presence around us during such a difficult time.
Both days were truly a wonderful celebration and words cannot express how happy we were with her services. We are so thankful we found her and had the privilege of having her conduct both events. I would highly recommend Felicity without any hesitation. ~ Anita Richardson
We had the privilege of working alongside Felicity with a very special farewell. Her attention to detail and genuine care for the family was outstanding. She really went the extra mile. We highly recommend Felicity if you are looking for a true professional who really cares. ~ Compassionate Funerals, QLD
