May May and Brian Forever Rest In Peace.
from his FB page:
Your friendly relaxed Civil Funeral Celebrant.
Brian was a Civil Marriage Celebrant for 25 years and is a Justice of the Peace.
I have retired as a Marriage Celebrant, however I am continuing to conduct Funeral Ceremonies and consider myself to be a full time professional celebrant.
As a funeral celebrant I have officiated at funeral and memorial services for many years.
I like to call these “Life Centred Ceremonies” as the whole service including the eulogy must recognize, pay tribute to and celebrate the life of the deceased.
The service should offer comfort, support and a sense of comfort to those who are mourning the loss of someone who was special to them.
I can provide assistance with preparing the service, the eulogy and advice regarding funeral arrangements.
Brian can help you through all aspects and enjoys helping people and prides himself on paying special attention to detail at all times to create a personal ceremony that reflects the feelings, beliefs and personality of the deceased with a totally professional relaxed manner.
please feel free to contact Brian for more information. View the the many thank you messages from satisfied families
