How do we get started?
First, let’s chat. Everything is going to be a little easier after that.

The Funeral Angel
Hello! I’m Robyn. I’m so sorry you are here at this difficult time – but now that you are, I’d like to help.
If you have lost a loved one , or you’re trying to plan for a Sydney Funeral Service or Memorial Ceremony and you need an experienced celebrant that really cares, talk to me.
With over thirteen years experience as a professional marriage and funeral celebrant, I have seen the greatest of joys and the worst of sadness. I have held the hands of so many, through all stages of life experience. I have celebrated some truly amazing people. I have helped to bring together hundreds of others and each time we take the smallest of steps towards saying goodbye. Funerals are the most important work that I do.
I can help you plan and organise everything – from start to finish, doing as much – or as little – as you need me to. I will help you write your eulogy, if you need help. I can assist with ideas, readings and rituals. I’ll be there to support your funeral director and your family members . I will write and perform a non-religious funeral service, life celebration or memorial ceremony that brings everyone closer. In fact, I will do just about anything that makes this experience a little less traumatic for you.
Call me. Any time. I’m here.

a huge thank you to my friends at @cjpicture_au for this in the moment pic from Ben`s memorial service
Why me? This might be why......
When a lifelong waterbaby is lost to the earth, the swimmers take to the ocean in their honour. This is so beautiful and so meaningful.
.....and the space is mine to hold........
Building a small altar for this memorial. A piece of his own art, flowers of his favourite colour, a candle, his ashes- a place to identify with, to say goodbye. In the absence of a coffin, it`s really important to build a space that guests can identify with. It doesn`t need to be expensive flowers or decorations, just some personal things.

For this service, we celebrated everything that mattered to G and his family. The music was Norse Pagan heavy metal. We formed a guard of honour and some of took a knee. We decorated the coffin with dragons and Bob Afet`s helmet. Everyone wore purple and black. It was my first Norse Pagan Dungeons & Dragons, Star Wars LOTR Goth funeral.
Three cheers for the tribute table at a funeral or memorial service. Here is where we have the opportunity to display our loved one`s personality in visuals. Photos, of course. Flowers, yes please. But let`s think a little further. What items represent their life? What were their favourite things, clothes, shoes, hobbies? What era were they born into? What was their occupation? Their favourite food? What were their values? What sports did they love? Decorating the space with things that make you think "oh that was sooooo them can really add to the feeling in the room.
......and after her ashes had been returned to the ocean, mother of all things, we threw flowers in after her and watched them wash gently away......
Education and experience are everything....... I`m always keen to learn something new and hear different ideas so my current study is @thefuneralfix - modern funeral training for out of the box funeral celebrants.......
