Memorials & Funerals with heart
​
Honouring life with compassion, connection and authenticity.
​
When someone we love passes, we’re not looking for perfect words, we’re looking for meaning, for grounding, and for a ceremony that feels true. As a Brisbane-based funeral and memorial celebrant, my role is to walk gently beside you, listen deeply, and create a space where love, grief, stories and memories can sit together with honesty and respect.
​
You don't need to rush!
When a loved one transitions, the world can move far too fast. But you don’t need to rush this. Don’t let anyone push you into quick decisions or “getting it done.” Take your time. Breathe. Sit with what feels right. Creating a goodbye that truly honours your person, their life, their quirks, their story, their impact deserves space, care, and intention. When you’re ready, you can shape a farewell that feels true, meaningful, and yours. And I’m here to help you do exactly that.
​
I approach every memorial, funeral, and celebration of life with a trauma-informed lens, honouring each person’s journey and the emotional needs of the people gathered. Whether the loss was expected, sudden, complicated, or wrapped in decades of stories, I hold space for it all. You won’t find clichés or scripted lines here. Instead, you’ll find a ceremony that feels real, personal, and anchored in genuine human connection.
​
A Ceremony that reflects their life
Every life is unique. Every story has beauty and complexity. I work closely with families to understand the person behind the photos, the quirks that made them unforgettable, the lessons they leave behind, and the legacy they carry. Together, we create a ceremony that honours:
✨ their truth
✨ their impact
✨ their relationships
✨ their humour, struggles, triumphs and heart
✨ the way they loved and were loved
​
Whether you’re planning a graveside service, memorial, scattering of ashes, or a more informal celebration of life, I tailor every detail to reflect who they were and what matters most to you.
​
Gentle guidance during a difficult time
When grief is present, decision-making can feel overwhelming.
I take the pressure off by guiding you step-by-step, offering suggestions when you need them, and creating room for your voice, your stories, and your family’s needs.
​
I can support you with:
• structuring the ceremony
• incorporating cultural or spiritual practices
• selecting readings, music and rituals
• holding space for complex family dynamics
• honouring First Nations cultural needs where relevant
• creating gentle, meaningful moments of remembrance
​
You don’t need to have everything figured out. I’m here to help you through it.
​
A safe space for all
I welcome all families, all identities, all backgrounds.
As a queer and trauma-informed celebrant, I understand the importance of honouring people exactly as they lived, including chosen family, gender identity, cultural connection, and the relationships that shaped their world.
Everyone deserves a ceremony that reflects who they truly were not who others expected them to be.
​
Ceremonies that bring comfort, not pressure
Memorials and funerals aren’t about perfection.
They’re about meaning, gentleness, and connection. They’re about giving people permission to feel what they feel, in a space that’s safe and respectful.
​
My intention is always to create a ceremony that leaves families saying,
"That felt like them.”
"That honoured their life.”
"That helped us begin to heal."
​
If you need someone to hold this moment with you and you're looking for a Brisbane funeral or memorial celebrant who blends compassion, storytelling, respect and steady support, I’m here.

You don’t have to navigate this alone.
