"From the moment we met Karen, we knew she was the right celebrant for our family. She is warm, compassionate, caring, humorous, and incredibly talented. The funeral service she created for my mum was nothing short of phenomenal, beautifully thoughtful and more meaningful than we could have ever imagined. Karen truly took the time to understand us and honour my mum’s life in a deeply personal way. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a funeral celebrant who brings heart, dignity, and a touch of lightness to a difficult time."

"The clock of life is wound but once,
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will stop
At late or early hour.
...
The present only is our own,
So live, love, toil with a will,
Place no faith in ‘Tomorrow’,
For the Clock may then be still"
And no man has the power
