Funeral Celebrant
with heart & soul
As a Funeral Celebrant, I have a wealth of knowledge, expertise, resources and understanding to help you plan a fitting farewell to the person you love and whose life you wish to celebrate. This is a time when compassion, patience and kindness count for a lot; families are often experiencing grief and loss that can surface in many ways and need a tender touch.
If you have prearranged your Funeral Director, I am happy to simply come on board as the celebrant to help you facilitate the creation and facilitation of the eulogies, tributes and rituals, music and Readings and guide the process on the day. I will charge an hourly fee of $80.
As Funeral Director and Planner, I have insight into the process, forms and procedure as well as a love of giving someone a positive send off that is a healing process for family and friends.
We have all been to a funeral where the name was mispronounced and the content didn’t reflect who they were as a person and I really spend time with the family to get to know that person’s unique story. We are celebrating a life lived and all the achievements and contributions of that person so it can be done in a very life-focused way that celebrates their extraordinary life yet allows for loss and grief to be acknowledged. In this way, no two ceremonies will ever be the same.
How we help
Create Meaningful, Authentic Funeral Experiences
There are infinite ways to honour a life. At Heart & Soul Funerals, we give you the freedom, guidance and time you need to explore the different ways you can pay tribute to someone you’ve lost.
Any Location, Any Format
A funeral doesn’t have to follow a formula. We work with families to create meaningful farewells of all shapes and sizes on beaches, in gardens, in homes and other special locations.
Guidance and Support Every Step of the Way
As a funeral celebrant and professional planner I can come on board as Funeral Director and/or simply Funeral Celebrant to guide you through and be by your side to provide support and facilitate the process, spending time to gather stories and create a farewell that’s fitting of a life well lived.
