FUNERALS
Saying goodbye to someone you love is never easy. Whether you’re planning a funeral, memorial, or celebration of life, my role is to help guide the process with care, respect, and calm, creating a service that honours the person being remembered and supports those who have come together to say farewell. You don’t need to have everything figured out — I’ll guide you through what’s needed, step by step.
A THOUGHTFUL, PERSONAL APPROACH
Every life is different, and every farewell should be too. I work closely with families to create services that reflect the person being remembered. Their character, their values, their story, and the impact they had on others. Whether the tone is reflective, warm, light, or quietly celebratory, the focus is always on creating something sincere and respectful.
WHAT I CAN HELP WITH
I can assist with:
-
Funeral and memorial services
-
Celebration of life ceremonies
-
Graveside committals
-
Civil services without religious content
-
Services that incorporate cultural or family traditions
-
Readings, eulogies, and order of service guidance
I can also help families who are unsure where to begin, offering guidance at every step.
WRITING & DELIVERING THE SERVICE
Some families want to write their own words. Others want help shaping them. Some prefer that I take care of everything.
I can:
-
Help structure the service
-
Assist with writing or refining eulogies
-
Deliver the service on your behalf
-
Ensure the tone remains respectful and composed
My role is to support you through the process and ensure the service flows calmly and smoothly on the day.
LANGUAGE & CULTURAL CONSIDERATIONS
Many of the families I work with come from culturally diverse backgrounds, and it’s important that a service feels familiar, respectful, and genuine. Where appropriate, I can incorporate Greek, Italian or Spanish phrasing into a service, whether through readings, key moments, or simple acknowledgements that carry meaning for family members. These elements are always handled with care and sensitivity, and only included where they feel natural and appropriate.
The aim is never to overcomplicate the service, but to honour heritage in a way that feels sincere and comforting for those in attendance.
I officiate funerals and memorial services across Melbourne and surrounding areas. If you’re unsure whether I’m available or whether your service can be accommodated, you’re welcome to contact me and I’ll do my best to assist
AVAILABILITY & LOCATION
Organising a funeral or memorial can feel overwhelming, especially during a time of grief. My role is to make this part of the process easier. To listen, guide, and ensure the service is handled with care and dignity. If you’d like to speak, even just to ask a question, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
