22.01.2022 This past week I have had the privilege of working with 3 beautiful families during one of the saddest and toughest times of their lives. With each family I consult with, I learn so much about their recently departed loved one. Each families willingness to be open, honest and raw with me (which does create some tears but also some laughter as they recount precious memories) really helps me to feel as if I had met and known their loved one which helps me ensure a personalized service. I feel very fortunate to be entrusted in such an important role in peoples lives at such a time.

20.01.2022 This morning I had the honor of supporting a truly beautiful family..An amazing couple who had been married 64 years..I walk away from these funerals and wonder how does one manage after losing your soulmate of 64 years? Its hard to comprehend....I know this gentlemen will be Ok because he has the most amazing supportive family, friends and community around him. It was a reminder to me (especially as people get older) just how important companionship, friendship and connectedness is..

18.01.2022 I had the privilege of conducting the Funeral service for the Late Helen Little this morning. Thank you to Trevor Little, Sharyn Little & the family for entrusting me with such an honour. Your mum was clearly very much loved

17.01.2022 Yesterday I supported a family in the beautiful Mawson Chapel. The smallest of the Chapels at Centennial Park but the most intimate

17.01.2022 Antonio and I had the privilege of performing at our dear friends Mums funeral today. It was such a heartfelt service with so much love in the room. We also knew her Mum well over the years having performed for her at her significant birthday celebrations. I felt extra teary today and didn't fully understand why until we got home and I had time to reflect.....We found out of this precious woman's passing on the day we were leaving to go Interstate and instantly felt sadness t...hat we wouldn't be able to attend or perform her favorite songs :( ..We were away for 9 days and when the family rang, they said that no matter what, they were going to hold off her funeral until we got home. This really overwhelmed both of us... What a huge honor from the family that has had a big impact on how proud and appreciated we feel today...It really meant so much to us.... Feeling very honored and grateful.... See more

17.01.2022 On Friday 5th Feb I had the privilege of supporting another beautiful family as they bid a sad but fond farewell to their precious Dad, Grandad, Great-grandad &... Father in Law. Mr Clarence Stanley Farquhar was a WW2 Veteran and was honoured accordingly by The Victor Harbour RSL Members. It really was an honour to deliver the service on behalf of the family and a pleasure to work with all involved. I thank the family for entrusting me. ( photos posted with permission from the family) I also thank Simplicity Funerals Victor Harbour for the respect & Care they gave to Mr Farquar whilst in their care. It was my first time working with Simplicity & it was lovely to receive such a positive email from them. See more

15.01.2022 At the beautiful Partridge House honouring another very special soul

14.01.2022 Thank you to another beautiful family who entrusted Antonio & I to perform a selection of special songs which included The Prayer, Time to say goodbye, Well meet again, My way and Somewhere over the rainbow to honour their loved one. We even performed the Crows theme song as the final send off! Lol ) It really was a very fitting & personal tribute to a very special woman who just missed out on celebrating her 100th birthday by a few months. A chapter completed~A page is turned~ A life well lived ~ A rest well earned.

13.01.2022 My role as a Funeral Celebrant is another passion for me along with my singing. The satisfaction I derive from delivering a personalised service for a family, a service that has the guests laughing, crying, reflecting but very importantly feeling as if I had known their loved one for years is just so satisfying. When a service also incorporates both myself & Antonio performing meaningful songs which uplifts the mood during the day that is double satisfaction. For any further information or advise please feel free to contact me direct

13.01.2022 A friend shared this with me on the recent anniversary of my precious Dad's passing. It really touched me so I thought I would share it in the hope it brings comfort to others just as it did for me.

12.01.2022 Thank you to another beautiful family for entrusting me today in delivering their precious mums service

11.01.2022 With the current Covid Crisis and the restrictions on guest numbers attending funerals as well as the travel restrictions dear friends of ours ( in Qld) asked if Antonio and I would video a special personal message ( from them) & perform a specific song for a family member who’s interstate funeral they cannot attend this week. We were happy to oblige and agree that it will be a very personal & special inclusion in the service later this week in Sydney. If this is a special type of tribute you would like to dedicate to a loved please contact me direct. We can produce your dedication and email you the video link to use.

08.01.2022 Yesterday I had the privilege of delivering the funeral service of Mr Brian Lynch on behalf of David Lynch Doreen & the rest of the family. Brian was a much loved, cherished and respected Husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather & friend to many. Antonio Villano and I also sang a few of Brian’s favourite songs which was a lovely personalised inclusion in the service. Thank you for entrusting me in such a significant day for your family

08.01.2022 I would like to thank Christa Kinnear and the family of the Late Mrs Efriede Schaefer for entrusting me to conduct their precious Mothers Funeral Service last week. The beautiful chapel at Ivan Butler Funeral Homes was full and overflowing with so much love. Antonio performed a couple of Mrs Schaefer's favorite songs which just helped personalize her service so beautifully. It was wonderful to have the grandchildren involved in Mrs Schaefer's service too. The family certainly did their Mum and Oma incredibly proud. My personal thanks also extends to Karina Jones and the professional team at Ivan Butlers Family Funerals for welcoming me as the family celebrant.

07.01.2022 Supporting another lovely family today

06.01.2022 I had the privilege of supporting two more lovely families this past week. It’s always a reminder that life is short and can be taken from you ( literally) in a heart beat

06.01.2022 SILENT AUCTION WINNERS!!!! On Sunday 22nd Nov at our show Antonio Villano & I made a snap decision to hold a Silent Auction The highest bidder and runner up w...on a private 2 hour performance with Antonio & I. We decided we had to do something pretty quick (after a very distressing conversation) with our Charity partner Solemen Indonesia. I knew things were incredibly tough due to this COVID year but not to the extent that it is! Apart from the poverty and mental health issues which are ongoing the other major issue they are dealing with now is malnutrition in over 2,000 of the most vulnerable local Balinese people I am so proud to advise that thanks to the incredible generosity of Neil & Sonia Brine and Vivien Waller our auction raised a total of $3200 AU for Solemen!!! You guys are just so amazing and have no idea just how much your generosity means to the recipients who will now be receiving healthy & nutritional food parcels, the sick will be able to continue on their medications and I’m sure some gifts will be bought for the children. Words such as Heartfelt & Sincere thanks doesn’t seem enough See more

06.01.2022 It is always a pleasure to work alongside such beautiful Industry professionals like Grace. Thank you for being such a treasure

05.01.2022 I had the privilege of supporting 2 seperate families today, one service this morning & one this afternoon. It doesn’t seem to matter how many services I do, the connection I feel with each family is so individual and so special. It really is a honour to be able to play just the tiniest role in helping these families through one of the toughest days of their lives. I feel very lucky

02.01.2022 Having had a very difficult week it was lovely that it ended on a high note when I received a very positive phone call with an unexpected compliment on the way I work from an Industry Leader I not only hold in high regard but someone I have great respect for. Really lifted my spirits.
