FUNERALS
Thoughtful Sydney funeral celebrant crafting personal, heartfelt ceremonies that honour the life of your loved one.
Alongside my work as a marriage celebrant, I also offer independent funeral celebrant services – bringing the same care, warmth, and attention to detail that I pour into all my work.
I believe that every life deserves to be celebrated in a way that feels true to the person at the heart of it. My role is to listen deeply, hold space for your stories and memories, and craft a ceremony that reflects the unique spirit, personality, and values of your loved one – whether that’s through gentle humour, quiet reflection, or joyful celebration.
My style is relaxed, inclusive, modern, and always grounded in authenticity. I’m here to help you honour your person in a way that feels meaningful and respectful – free from outdated traditions or generic templates.
Just like in weddings, I focus on making ceremonies personal and real, using storytelling to connect people, bring comfort, and celebrate life in all its beautiful complexity.
Whether you’re planning a traditional funeral, a memorial, a celebration of life or something in between, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
FAQ
What does a funeral celebrant do?
A funeral celebrant works with you to create and lead a personalised ceremony that honours the life of your loved one. This can include writing and delivering the eulogy, coordinating readings or music, involving family and friends, and guiding the ceremony from start to finish in a way that feels respectful, genuine, and true to them.
How is your approach different?
My ceremonies are never cookie-cutter. I take the time to really get to know the person we’re honouring – through stories, memories, and conversations with those who knew them best. I’ll craft a ceremony that feels natural and real, whether that includes humour, quiet reflection, or a mix of both. My style is warm, inclusive, and modern – no clichés, no awkward formality, just a heartfelt celebration of life.
Do you work with religious content or spiritual elements?
I’m happy to include any spiritual, cultural, or symbolic elements that are meaningful to you or your loved one. I create secular (non-religious) ceremonies by default, but I’m always guided by your wishes. Whether that’s a prayer, a ritual, or simply a moment of silence – we’ll shape it together.
What kinds of ceremonies do you offer?
I can help with funerals, memorial services, celebrations of life, scattering of ashes, or private family gatherings. Some ceremonies happen at a funeral home or chapel, others in gardens, beaches, or even at home. I’m flexible and happy to work with the location and format that suits you best.
Can we include other speakers or music?
Absolutely. You’re welcome to involve family and friends in any way you’d like – with readings, speeches, music, or rituals. I’ll help coordinate the ceremony so that it flows smoothly, and I’ll be there to guide anyone who wants to speak, especially if they’re nervous.
How much do you charge?
My fees vary depending on the type and location of the ceremony. I’m always happy to provide a clear quote with no surprises. Please get in touch to talk through what you need — I’ll make the process as simple and stress-free as possible.
What areas do you cover?
I’m based in Sydney and can travel across the metro area and surrounds. If you’re planning a ceremony in the Blue Mountains, South Coast, or another region, let’s chat — I often travel for weddings and am happy to do the same for funerals and memorials.
How do we get started?
Reach out via phone or email and we’ll set up a time to talk. From there, I’ll guide you through the next steps gently and supportively, including what information I’ll need, how we’ll shape the ceremony, and what to expect on the day.
