Welcome to Taea Hope Celebrant

Conducting a funeral ceremony is a solemn responsibility that requires empathy, sensitivity and professionalism. As a Civil Celebrant & qualified psychotherapist, grief counsellor and clinical hypnotherapist I am able to utilise my experience to provide the space and respect needed at this time. As your celebrant, my role is to guide the service in a respectful manner, honouring the life and memory of the deceased while providing comfort and support to all those family and friends grieving at this time. 

The importance of a funeral ceremony lies in providing closure, allowing you the loved ones to come together to mourn, celebrate and remember the life of the dearly departed. It is a time to share stories, express emotions, and find solace in the community of support. 

I work closely with the family to understand your wishes and create a meaningful ceremony that reflects the personality, beliefs, and values of the deceased. This may involve incorporating religious or cultural customs, readings, music or personal anecdotes. Whatever your needs are at this time, it is my honour to ensure that they are met with calm and grace. I am happy to offer advice where needed and/or simply follow your instructions to the letter. I am here to provide you with a ceremony that will truly honor your loved one and a ceremony you can be proud of.
