Funeral celebrant services - Melbourne
from the simple to sensational:
It’s up to you to choose the right send-off for your person
Creating someone’s funeral is both a humbling and beautiful thing to do.
As a rapport is developed between family, friends and myself, your person's story is then turned into a ceremony that is compassionate, deeply personal, entertaining and unforgettable.
People find that my warm nature, combined with my confidence in public speaking, compassionate heart, understanding of grief and even my sense of humour make me a perfect candidate for conducting funerals. I possess strong initiative, read people well and consider it an honour and privilege to sit with others through their individual experience.
Together we’ll work out the most fitting way to say goodbye.
I am fresh and vibrant and know there is a growing market for my style of celebrancy.

“Klara McMurray is a celebrant who can handle anything with grace, style, vivacity and care.
I don't know what I would have done without her after the untimely death of my sweetheart.
She managed a complicated family dynamic, put everyone at ease, and spent time getting to know the person we were mourning. She then wrote and officiated over a funeral that was truly a celebration of life. Her ceremony had space for tears and for laughter. In a room of 200 mourners, Klara charmed and calmed us all and I will be forever grateful.
I wish I'd had her for a wedding, but I have never been to a more fitting funeral.”

A fresh, modern and respectfully irreverent approach to creating the perfect send-off.
End of Life Plan - The Funky Celebrant
As a funeral celebrant I have had the privilege to be with many families at one of the toughest times of their lives.
Even if we're laughing at stories and being (respectfully) irreverent, it can be tough.
And it got me thinking - how many of us really think about ‘end of life’ and how we might want that to play out for our friends and family when the time comes - answer?
Almost no one.
So in true funky celebrant style, I have created a guide for you that I know might be confronting but hugely helpful when it’s needed most. You can download it here - no strings attached!
Consider it my contribution to making end of life celebrations a place where you can express yourself even after you're gone...
