I have been a funeral celebrant for nine years. When I meet a family who has lost a loved one, I make a promise to take care of them throughout our journey together. I promise I will capture the essence of their loved one and create a ceremony they would be proud of. And I am a promise keeper.

Why I'm a celebrant: I am very humbled to be able to take a family through the journey of losing a loved one. This is one of the most difficult times for family and friends to navigate. I treat them with dignity and respect and create a unique and special ceremony they will remember.

Treasured memories: Every ceremony I have conducted is a treasured memory!

Tips : Every celebrant is different. They have different personalities and different ways of working. Even though families are going through a difficult time and have to make many decisions under enormous stress, it is important to ensure they feel confident and comfortable with their celebrant. Don't be shy to tell your celebrant exactly the type of ceremony or service you want.
