Julie is a Funeral Celebrant and a Funeral Director.

She has her own independent funeral business - Bushland Shire Funerals.

Just as life offers us times to celebrate, death gives a time to remember, a time to mourn and a time to celebrate the life lived. Funerals allow grief to flow, they also provide a time of reflection and celebration to those who remain. Celebration of the life lived, celebration that you were able to share in this life and celebration of the mark the person has left on you. 

Memorial services offer a time for reflection and thanks giving and are often held some time after the loss, on an anniversary or special day such as Mother's Day or Father's Day.

Julie is compassionate and empathetic to the needs of those facing these hard times. 

She appreciates the sensitivity required and will help make this day run accordingly.

Funeral Celebrant

Every person has a life story, the story of how they lived their life, their achievements and their values.  As a funeral celebrant, Julie likes to learn about your person's life - who they were.  She always begins by asking for a photo of your person, so that she can see who she is learning about and whose life story she will be helping to share respectfully, compassionately and authentically.

The role of a funeral celebrant is to assist you with the flow and content for the service to celebrate the life lived, recognise the grief felt and begin the healing process.  When you are planning a funeral service, it helps to have someone who will listen and gently ask the questions, to write a service that is unique to your person.  Julie understands that this is a difficult time, she is calm, considerate and organised.  Julie feels honoured to help you through this important and emotional time.
