Funeral Ceremonies - What you need to know!


A funeral is an emotional and poignant event and as a funeral celebrant my role is to assist in creating a celebration of life fitting of the person being farewelled.

I understand that all funeral services should, and will differ, in order to capture the unique nature and influence that the deceased person has had on the lives of those around them.

It is my honour to be given the opportunity to celebrate this life, and to truly portray the character of someone who has been so loved, in so many differing ways, by those left behind.  

My aim is to present the real-life story, which is true to the character and personal qualities of your loved one.  The service will not simply be a chronological series of events, but a story told with feeling, compassion, sensitivity and most of all with love.

My commitment as a Funeral Celebrant

  • To put the needs of the deceased, and the bereaved above all other considerations.
  • To visit the family to discuss  their needs, and to plan the service as soon as practical after death has  occurred.
  • To compose a funeral service with  empathy and sensitivity, to meet the needs and wishes of the family.
  • To ensure my personal appearance is  fitting with the dignity of the occasion.
  • To ensure accuracy in the  preparation of all documents, including names, dates, and relationship to  deceased.
  • To arrive at the service at least  30 minutes prior to the commencement of the service.
  • To respect the privacy and  confidentiality of all parties.
  • To act in accordance with the the  celebrant code of practice
  • To provide the family with a full written copy of the service, the eulogy and other mementos of the service, in a presentation folder, in the days following the service.
