I companion families through funerals and memorials that honor grief, memory, and presence. Each ceremony is shaped in response to the life being remembered and the needs of those gathered. My role is not to perform, but to hold space—quietly, faithfully, and without abstraction.
🕊️ Funeral Celebrancy Rooted in Presence
Grief doesn’t follow a script. Neither should the ceremony that honors a life.
As a funeral celebrant, I offer spaces where sorrow is not rushed, stories are not polished, and the person remembered is not reduced to a timeline. Whether in a chapel, a backyard, or online, I work with families to shape ceremonies that reflect lived truth—not performance.
What I Offer
Collaborative Ceremony Design: Grounded in your stories, rituals, and cultural or spiritual traditions.
Trauma-Informed Presence: I hold space with pastoral restraint, honoring the emotional complexity of loss.
Digital & In-Person Services: Whether gathering in person or online, the ceremony remains intimate, clear, and dignified.
Who I Serve
Families navigating sudden or complex loss
Communities seeking non-religious or interfaith ceremonies
Individuals planning ahead for their own memorial
Why It Matters
In a world that often rushes grief, I offer a pause. A moment to name what was, what is, and what remains.
