Place your loved one’s funeral in good hands with an experienced Funeral Celebrant
Let your Funeral Celebrant take over the burden of the ceremony
The death of a loved one is an especially heavy burden for the closest loved ones who must plan, prepare and facilitate the funeral.
An experienced Funeral Celebrant can make an immeasurable difference lifting this burden from your shoulders throughout this period by:
- Understanding the need for compassion and empathy
- Guiding you through what needs to be done. Helping you put together the celebration of your loved one’s life
- Designing a ceremony, which truly reflects and celebrates the life your loved one
- Working closely with your Funeral Director
With my experienced guidance, you can be confident and assured the ceremony will go as smoothly and comfortably as possible. Be conducted with dignity and grace.
The benefit of experience...
Preparing and reading Funerals is not a profession every Celebrant feels comfortable doing.
I have been visiting families, planning and conducting Funerals for their loved ones for many years so I feel equipped to meet and talk with people who are feeling very fragile and in deep shock at the loss of their loved one. I have a unique capacity for compassion, understanding and empathy.
I will visit you in the comfort of your own home and guide you through the process of developing a ceremony which truly reflects and celebrates the life and times of your loved one. I work closely with your Funeral Director, many of whom know me well.
I feel it is an honour, and very humbling, to be accepted into people’s lives to guide them through a most important rite of passage, and I deeply respect this privileged role.
Speak to me about your needs
I am always open to discussing your needs. The first step is for me to visit your home.

Testimonials
“It was a difficult time for all of us at the passing of a lovely lady, but you allowed us to get through it with grace & dignity.”
We would like to thank you for the manner in which you conducted the service for Mum. All of the family agreed that the service was perfect & given the opportunity to do it all again, we would not change a thing. Your dulcet tones had the desired effect in helping the family to celebrate the life rather than mourning the passing of Mum. It was a difficult time for all of us at the passing of a lovely lady, but you allowed us to get through it with grace & dignity. Thank you Helen for being so helpful to our family.
“We just wanted to thank you so much for your help and the beautiful service that you delivered.”
Dear Helen, we just wanted to thank you so much for your help and the beautiful service that you delivered. A number of people commented to me about how thoughtful your words were, and they really appreciated the open and honest way the service was conducted. You really helped my family a lot with the whole process, at such a difficult time. We all appreciated it, and I hope that one day we may be able to use your services on a happier occasion.
“You did a fantastic job and we are so glad and privileged to have you to do such a special service.”
Dear Helen, I just wanted to send you a message on behalf of the family to say a big thank you for making mum’s funeral a very special day that we will always remember. You did a fantastic job and we are so glad and privileged to have you to do such a special service. We have had so many people comment on what a lovely job you did and most people thought you must have been a friend of Mum’s the way you spoke on behalf of our family. Hopefully one day we could use you again but preferably not at a funeral! Thanks again and God bless.
“I must tell you that at Jane's wake, so many people commented on how beautifully you conducted the service, and how kind and gentle you were.”
Thank you for the beautifully presented copy of Jane's service, which arrived safely on Monday. I read your note, but haven't quite been able to go through it all just yet. The reality is starting to hit me now that all the bustle of organising and getting through the funeral has passed. I guess that is the way it happens for most people. One day at a time. I must tell you that at Jane's wake, so many people commented on how beautifully you conducted the service, and how kind and gentle you were. I agree, and can't thank you enough for giving Jane such a lovely send off, it was just so perfect for her. I will always be so grateful to you for that.
“We have received many compliments about the service, with some friends saying it was the best one they have ever been to.”
Thanks so much for sending us all a copy of the service. I have printed it off and it is so nice to have as a keepsake. We were so impressed with every aspect of the service and the very professional and compassionate way you put it all together. Thank you also for all your help and advice in putting everything together to make such a special Celebration of Mum's life. Mum and Dad would have been very impressed with you, as we all were. We have received many compliments about the service, with some friends saying it was the best one they have ever been to.
“I thank you sincerely for making the day go so well and for your kindness and thoughtfulness.”
Dear Helen, I had hoped to send you a thank you card for the lovely service you gave for mum but as I have no address an email will have to suffice. The service was beautiful, feminine and graceful and just what Mum would have wanted (and so like her). On behalf of the family I thank you sincerely for making the day go so well and for your kindness and thoughtfulness. I never thought a coffin would look beautiful but hers did, covered with all the flowers from her garden. Let me thank you once again for making what could have been an uncomfortable event into one that was both gracious and appropriate. We all felt at peace afterward.
“I just wanted to say thank you again for the service on Friday - it was wonderful”
Dear Helen, I just wanted to say thank you again for the service on Friday - it was wonderful. I have had a lot of feedback from the attendees and they felt it was absolutely right for Peg. With some hesitation as to how to actually say it, the comments have been that it was possibly the "nicest funeral" they had been to, and one of Peg's oldest friends directed her daughter that you are the person she wants for her funeral! So thank you.
“Heartfelt thanks for the beautifully restrained way you conducted the service”
Dear Helen, thank you for the completed service for Bill, and heartfelt thanks for the beautifully restrained way you conducted the service. It very much reflected the person he was, and still is, to us.
“Thanks again for making my Mum's last day just that much more special.”
Dear Helen, I just wanted to thank you very much for the wonderful job you performed at my Mum's Funeral. I know she would have been very happy with the send off we gave her. The copy of the service I received in the mail was just wonderful, it must take a lot of time and effort to produce it, but from the Family's point of view it is just a wonderful reminder of the day. Thanks again for making my Mum's last day just that much more special.
“The service went perfectly”
Dear Helen, just a short note to express my sincere thanks for the manner in which you conducted the service for my sister Jessie on Friday. I think that the service went perfectly, and I am sure that Jessie would have approved completely.
I am sorry I did not speak to you on the day, but I was so overwhelmed with people offering condolences that I wasn't quite thinking straight. All who spoke to me, thought that the service was just lovely and really captured the essence that was my sister.
“We are really very grateful to you.”
Dear Helen, thank you very much for sending us a copy of Dad’s service. It's a beautiful thing to keep. During the service it's hard to focus on everything that's being said while hundreds of thoughts are whirling around in our minds, but now we have a complete record to treasure forever. We are really very grateful to you.
“You were great and ‘just right’ as they say.”
Dear Helen, I had very positive feedback from most people attending, so I would like to pass this on to you. You were great and ‘just right’ as they say. If you ever need a reference in your line of business, do not hesitate in giving them my name, happy to recommend you any time. I am very grateful to God to have sent you to us. Thank-you for the amount of respect and love you showed for somebody you did not meet.
“Such a beautiful tribute and celebration to Kelly's life yesterday”
Dear Helen, first of all, thankyou for such a beautiful tribute and celebration to Kelly's life yesterday. I know she would have loved the respect, dignity and eloquent delivery. Kelly was never a sad or down person and was always the first person to pick you up so I feel yesterday's service was a fitting "goodbye and thankyou". Many people I spoke to during the course of the afternoon felt the service was beautiful and loved the way you delivered your message on behalf of Kelly’s family.
“You delivered the tribute to Amy was very compassionate and sincere”
Dear Helen, the day was very beautiful and I am sure Amy would have approved. Your part in the service was wonderful Helen, and the way in which you delivered the tribute to Amy was very compassionate and sincere. I heard lovely comments afterwards about the discretion and diplomacy that certain matters were handled and that was a great credit to your professionalism.
“Warm and sensitive”
Thank you so much Helen for the warm and sensitive manner in which you conducted my father’s funeral today.
