In the quiet moments that follow loss, when words seem inadequate and the heart aches for solace, I stand with you. As an independent funeral celebrant, I understand the weight of grief, and I also know the profound beauty in honouring a life lived.

Death, often feared and misunderstood, holds within it the potential for connection, clarity, and love. It is my mission to guide you through this complex space—one that evolves with each passing year, as we learn more about how to approach death with dignity and wisdom. I am here to offer you knowledge, to help navigate the options available in death care, and to empower you in making choices that reflect both your needs and your values.

Together, we will shape a ceremony that captures the true essence of your loved one. With each memory, each carefully chosen word, we will co-create a service that invites warmth and inclusion, a space where grief can unfold gently. It will be a tribute as unique as your person, designed with care to hold your sorrow.

This journey, though intimate and emotional, is one we will walk side by side. It is my purpose to ensure that your farewell is tender, dignified, and above all, authentic. Let’s create a moment that brings light into the darkness, where love, life, and connection can transcend death.

​I will guide you in crafting an authentic service, individually tailored to capture the unique essence of your person. We will co-create a ceremony that cultivates an atmosphere of warmth and inclusivity, and a safe space for your grief.

Let’s embark on this intimate journey together to ensure a tender and dignified farewell.

In quiet hours when hearts are torn,
And silence fills the space we mourn,
A hand is here, to guide, to hold,
Through stories yet to be retold.

In death, we find a thread of grace,
To honour life in its embrace.
With tender care, we shape the light,
That lingers softly in the night.

Each word we speak, each tear we shed,
Will weave the love that’s never dead.
A space of warmth, of gentle peace,
Where grief and joy can find release.
Together, we will carve the way,
To send them on their final day.
With dignity, with truth, we’ll find,
A farewell crafted, heart and mind.

In every step, I stand with you,
To honour life in all its hues.
For even now, in death’s deep sea,
Love’s light remains, eternally.

"Karen created a ceremony that was comprehensive and perfectly structured, involving all the key people in a heartfelt tribute. She took the time to listen to us, researched our family’s stories, and added special touches, like the pebble ceremony, that made it incredibly personal. Her ability to balance the tone of the service—acknowledging both the joys and the struggles of life—brought comfort to everyone. We truly felt she captured the essence of our loved one, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly."

"Karen went above and beyond to make our ceremony unique and memorable. She engaged with the family effortlessly, ensuring everyone felt included and respected. Despite the seriousness of the occasion, she added moments of lightness that brought us all a sense of peace. Her professionalism, combined with her ability to weave in elements like poetry and music, made the service feel thoughtfully presented and meaningful. It was clear she had put a lot of effort into making it just right for us. I would recommend Karen to anyone who needs a celebrant who truly cares."

"I can't say enough about how wonderful Karen was as our funeral celebrant. She took her time to listen to every detail we shared and created a ceremony that was perfectly tailored to honour our loved one. Her passion for Celebrancy was evident throughout, and she struck a beautiful balance between moments of reflection and light-heartedness. Karen’s dedication and kindness made a difficult day so much easier for our family."
