FUNERALS ~ MEMORIAL SERVICES ~ SCATTERING OF ASHES

As your Funeral Celebrant I have over 17 years of experience. I will prepare and conduct a funeral ceremony, tailored to suit your individual family’s requirements. We can work together to compose a personalised ceremony, using words and music that reflect the person who has passed on.

I have a Diploma in Ministry, Certificate IV in Funeral Services and Certificate in Grief Counselling. I will help you to design and choose an appropriate ceremony. I am committed to providing you and your family with the highest standard of service.

I will offer suggestions on different formats you can choose from, including a selection of poems and songs. We can work together to construct a meaningful ceremony, a celebration of the life of a loved one, to say farewell in a dignified and meaningful way. Family and friends are more than welcome to take part in the ceremony. Should the family want a religious tone to the ceremony, this of course can be incorporated.

When you have experienced a loss, it is never easy for those left behind. But when you lose someone so unexpectedly we all feel the shock. It may help to know how many people share your sorrow and stand with you in your time of need.

Robyns Journey

My heart is with you in your grief and sorrow

With over 17 years experience as a full time celebrant, including funerals, memorials and a variety of Celebration of Life services, I have had the privilege and honour to work with many families, from different backgrounds and cultures, to help them through the difficult time of farewelling their loved one.  

I perform secular, non religious and religious services, have a Diploma in Ministry and embrace meeting people from all around the world. 

I have performed a wide range of services, including for an unexpected or sudden death, of a child or an adult, terminally ill people including some brides and grooms days before their wedding, through to people who have experienced life into their 80’s or 90’s, even a few reaching 99 and 100.  

I have personally experienced the loss of my daughter Claire, through a still birth, the loss of a nephew through suicide, where I performed his service to over 240 people, nursed my beautiful 59 year old mother for 2 years, through her terminal cancer journey, when I was 33 years old and 6 months pregnant with my daughter.  

My husband and I have both gone through cancer twice in the past 10 years and beat the odds of survival. To read more about my cancer journey please visit my cancer website,  www.cupofhope.net.au.

I value my volunteer role at Gold Coast University Hospital, having completed my Diploma in Clinical and Pastoral Education as a Spiritual Carer, visiting patients and their families when they need support, a chat, a smile, warm embrace or just sit in silence with them and reflect and contemplate life.

I would love to hold your hand and walk with you on the journey of farewelling your loved one, capture the essence of who they were, honour their memory and celebrate the life they lived.
