Susie-Figgis-Celebrant

Hi, I'm Susie...

Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little bit about me, in what must be a difficult time...

With a long celebrant and ceremonial background, I felt a calling deep in my bones some years ago to begin working with death, and my learning and growth journey in this space continues to be very humbling indeed. Having now facilitated over 50 memorials and funerals, I have equally embraced the gold of peaceful passings and the confronting nature of tragic and unexpected deaths.

People say I bring a natural heart centred way-of-being with families after a death, taking the time to understand their person, and offering guidance, options and ideas. Then I create a soft reverent space for the ceremony to unfold, allowing people to process and grieve the departure of their loved one while also celebrating their life.

This work has metamorphosed the way I look at absolutely everything! It’s a continual process of growth, humility and heart expansion, transforming my life into a richer experience of living and relating with people, nature and everything in between.

I am not fixed in any one spiritual or religious belief, and make it my priority to understand the beliefs of the family I am working with, and the person who has died, so that I can honour and acknowledge these beliefs (not my own) in the ceremony.

To discuss an upcoming memorial ceremony or funeral for your person or your pet, please call me anytime, or send me a message via my 'Contact Me' page and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

We can never fill the gap that is left when we lose someone we love, but we can farewell them and celebrate their life in a way that is personal and really beautiful. We only get one chance at a group goodbye, and my role is to facilitate a shared experience that is as meaningful and healing as possible.
