Beverly Risstrom, Funeral Celebrant

Helping a family to design a service for a loved one is an enormous privilege and honour. The opportunity to assist a grieving family, heal through delivering a heartfelt ceremony, is uplifting?I actual enjoy hearing the stories people have, joining the dots or making suggestions is a rewarding challenge. I am happy to either craft a eulogy that represents the deceased person, or work with the family to write and deliver a eulogy. I have resources and suggestions to assist in the process.

Some testimonials from funerals

I want to THANK YOU so very much for leading the service for my mum. It was just fantastic! You were fantastic!
I am so happy with the way you ran the service, and the memories just keep rolling through my mind. I absolutely loved the little dance you did on the way out. It was just what I wanted. I'll never forget the look on your face when my aunty May stood up and said, "Where's my handbag, someone has stolen my handbag!" I think we were both hard pressed not to burst out laughing! Beverly, I wish you were here in Sydney - you would be number 1 in my contacts list for Celebrancy! Thank You so much for making mum's funeral service just perfect.

I wanted to say a huge thank you for all your incredible attention to detail for the service yesterday for Mal. You have certainly provided some wonderful support and kindness to the family during this very difficult time. You have gone out of your way to capture the essence of Mal, and all the comments made to us all by family and friends have been that it was one of the loveliest, but true accounts of a life that they have seen. Once again, a huge thank you.

Beverly, thank you very much for leading the funeral service for Susie yesterday. The conditions with which you had to contend could not have been much more adverse, with the possible exception of snow or sleet. You conducted the occasion with wisdom and good humour and put everyone at ease.
