Ceremonies
With permission, your loved one's service can take place anywhere, from your garden to their favourite beach; what is most important is knowing that there is freedom of choice.

I am an all inclusive celebrant, and proudly so. I embrace and celebrate all sexualities, genders, gender expressions, race and all forms of identity, so please be rest assured that you will always find a warm and inclusive environment with me.
I have been telling stories since I was a little girl. During the ceremony, I want to tell your loved one's story in a way that encapsulates their character and person. Everything is important! It all matters, from the music they loved to their spiritual or religious beliefs (or lack thereof). The key to being an independent celebrant is that my religious beliefs do not affect the ceremony I officiate for you; if a person's faith fulfils them, that is all that matters.
Additionally, no request is too silly or weird! Whether you'd like all your guests to wear lilac or your loved one had a dance routine they wanted you to perform at their funeral, anything goes. Taking inspiration from your loved one's backgrounds, from familial traditions to rituals to cultural symbolism, we will discuss all of this so that anything you believe should be incorporated into the ceremony will be. My sole focus is to make their final goodbye as personal and perfect for them as possible.
Do you wish everything could just slow down? Well, it can. A small funeral with just close family and friends may be the best way for you to begin to process your grief, and when you're ready, a Celebration of Life with a wider circle of friends and loved ones can take place. There will be no coffin present during this, but coming together in celebration of the memory of your loved one may grant a form of closure for you. Perhaps your loved one was torn between cremation and burial? They may have preferred a smaller funeral at the crematorium followed by their ashes scattered or buried somewhere dear to them. There are so many options available, and if you feel overwhelmed, we can explore these options together, and take our time as we do so.
