I have been a Celebrant since 2001.  I create personalised ceremonies having taken over 500 funeral services. I always feel very privileged to listen to your ideas, assisting wherever possible to design and deliver a funeral service which works for you. 

 I operate from Ashburton.

References:  Service of Celebration (Funeral):  Graham and I attended Tim’s funeral service – we thought it was the best service we have ever been to.  It was so fitting and the words were so appropriate.  Although it is a very sad time for all who knew him, the service really celebrated who Tim was. We just wanted to pass on our thanks and let you know that the service you held has really made us celebrate what a wonderful person he was. 

Diane and Graham would like to sincerely thank you on behalf of the family for the wonderful service you performed for Rich. It was exactly as I wanted it to be, light with a little bit of fun (and laughter) to reflect Rich’s true character rather that dwell on the sick man he had been over his last few years of life. I have received so many positive comments from people who attended the service and all agreed it was a perfect send off for Rich.  There was never any doubt in my mind that I wanted you to lead Rich’s service and I am so grateful you were available. Your guidance was invaluable and I can’t thank you enough for your support in the days leading up to and the day of the service. Together with the team at Paterson’s, you all made a tough time much easier. Sue
