No-one wants to think about the sadness of losing a family member or a friend but inevitably, sooner or later, we all do. 

My name is Elaine Searle and as a funeral celebrant, my main focus is to provide the best possible service to the family and friends of the deceased. This is done by talking to the family and, with their guidance, writing and conducting a respectful, personal funeral ceremony. I live on Sydney's northern beaches and conduct funeral services throughout the Sydney Metropolitan Area.

A personal funeral or memorial ceremony can be a fitting tribute to the one who has passed away, and can provide comfort to those who are bereaved. An appropriate and personal service can be a comfort and consolation and help with the grieving process.

I can meet with you and, with your knowledge of the deceased,  write and conduct a ceremony that meets your needs and reflects the attributes of the one whom you have lost.  I am happy to come to your home to discuss your wishes for the funeral. I will write the eulogy based on the information you give me at this meeting. I encourage family and friends to be included in the service by reading poems, readings or tributes. I can help choose music and readings for the service and am open to accommodating special requests that honour the deceased.
