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

SYDNEY: A man who falsely claimed for a Lotto win of $1.25 million, had swallowed the evidence – a carbon copy of the coupon – police alleged in Sydney Central Court of Petty Sessions yesterday.
Mr Rayson Light, 37, clerk, of East Sydney, was charged with having attempted to obtain $1.25 million on December 17, 1980, by having pretended he had submitted a valid winning Lotto entry.
He was also charged with having forged a Lotto coupon with intent to defraud, at Darlinghurst, on December 15 and with having uttered a forged coupon on December 17.
He was charged yesterday at Chatswood with having uttered a forged coupon. No pleas were entered.
Sergeant Brian Loomes, prosecuting, alleged that while being interviewed by detectives at Chatswood yesterday morning, Mr Light had stolen and then swallowed a carbon copy of the Lotto coupon relating to his false claim.
Mr G. Penny, for Mr Light, said the matter was still the subject of litigation in the Supreme Court.
He said his client had been born in Canton, China, and had come to Australia in 1975.
Mr R. Henry, SM, allowed him conditional bail.
