As an independent funeral celebrant I can slot into all sorts of situations where people want a meaningful ceremony to properly celebrate and farewell their person.

My service does not include delivering boring generic impersonal ceremonies.

I can help you curate a wonderful ceremony experience that honours your person in a way that aligns with who they were, including the beauty and hardships they may have faced.

I like to create spaciousness for stillness and reflection.
Where personal feelings entwine with the collective container.
A space that feels special and sacred and slow.
A place to drop into the healing of memories and stories.

Whatever comes it’s all welcome with grace in the ceremony space.

In the planning of your ceremony and wake consider:

• “What would our person have wanted?”
• Where will we go to celebrate them?
• What will the gathering, eating and drinking plans be after the ceremony?
• Do people need to bring chairs / what else?
• Always include kids if you can and have a wet weather plan B.
• Would you like to consider a smoking ceremony or indigenous blessing for your person?

One of my favourite ways of honouring our dead is in nature, or a place with a nice aspect that was special to them, or would resonate with them. A bushy glen, local hall, protected beach location, Chapple or anywhere at all that feels like a space and place where that person would like to be for their final earth-bound shin dig. The sky is the limit. I embrace all locations and can help you choose the right one.
