Speaking

Over the past few years there have been special events that I have really enjoyed. Travelling to the USA in 2015 and 2018 to speak about my work as a celebrant and presenting to Australian Funeral Directors in 2017 on the changing shape of funeral ceremonies.

Another Day Another Black Dress

You understood the situation well, and I can’t think of how any one else would have done it better.

I know it is your job, but truly you do it so well and with such compassion.

My Dad was just amazed by your efforts, and attention to detail... I think you have an amazing way with words and everything fitted together perfectly

…thank you for your calm, wise and professional role in making Peter's funeral service the warm and dignified (and sometimes funny) occasion it was.
