Funerals & Memorials with Julie Carlton

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.
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 office is in Greenmount and I am well placed to meet with clients anywhere in the Perth Hills, Midland or Swan Valley but I am happy to travel elsewhere in the Perth metro area, Avon Valley or the Mandurah Peel area.

Why I'm a celebrant: Originally trained as a marriage celebrant I gradually found that working with families who have lost a loved one was a much more rewarding role, walking alongside grieving families and together creating a ceremony - whether it be a traditional Funeral, a beautiful Memorial in a location that was special to the one who has died or whether it's a joyous Living Wake or a Celebration of Life.
I am inclusive and embrace people of all faiths and cultures. I would love to include aspects of a your loved one's life, beliefs, passions and cultural celebrations into their Funeral, Memorial or Celebration of Life.

Treasured memories: 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

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

Tips : Did you know that you don't have to choose the Funeral Celebrant selected by a Funeral Director? You can choose a celebrant that is the right 'fit' for you and your family.
I'm also available to help you pre-plan your own Funeral, ahead of time, so it becomes so much easier for your family... when the time comes.

and I'd like to say: I would be honoured to be your chosen Celebrant for a Funeral, Memorial or Celebration of Life and to share the story of your loved one's life. I'm easy to talk to, a good listener, have a wealth of experience, am caring and supportive, but also professional and creative, and I have excellent public speaking skills.
