Celebrations of Life for you and
Your Loved Ones


Insight Institute Certified Life Tribute professionals and Certified Life Cycle Celebrants such as myself serve all members of the community with a full welcoming heart and genuine acceptance. I create and conduct healing and engaging tributes for everyone, even your beloved family pets.
​
Many celebrants aim for the funeral service to be not only a time to grieve but also a ‘celebration of life’ that honours the memory. This approach places an emphasis on how your loved one lived their life, their traits and the memories of family and friends. For this reason, celebrants are the go-to option for people looking to create ceremonies of substance and honouring the grieving but without necessarily mentioning spiritual or religious beliefs or the afterlife if it does not suit them. It depends purely upon what personal and individual beliefs you have and what is desired, visualized and suitable for your loved one and you.
When do you need a funeral celebrant?
-
If you would like someone to take charge of the main speaking role in a funeral service
-
If you would like someone who can be very flexible about the form the funeral will take
-
If you’d like some help developing a structure for the ceremony and thinking of what to include
-
If you would like a script created for yourself before you die.
​
As a funeral celebrant I will consult with a family to conduct a funeral ceremony, memorial or celebration of life tailored to the beliefs, values, and desires of your loved one and the immediate family members.

These services might or might not include aspects of traditional religious funerals as I will facilitate your beliefs your way and tell an engaging story for your audience while we pay tribute to your loved one.
A custom written script will draw your loved ones close and can help to make everyone feel more comforted and at peace.

I am a trained and certified by the Insight Institute as a Life Tribute Professional. I also am a certified Life Cycle Celebrant. I am well prepared to meet the needs of families during their time of both celebration and loss. I have strong public speaking skills and am able to craft a well worded ceremony to suit any life transition.
As your Funeral Celebrant, I serve you by providing a funeral service, memorial service or tribute that is personalized and individualized to reflect the personality and life-style of your loved one.

How It Works
Contact me and book a consultation. After a consultation with the family and loved ones I will create a first draft. After a personal consultation you will get your first draft. Next any changes are made if needed to be sure it’s perfectly suited.
